I like the story of Daniel in the Bible, not because he survived the lion’s den. But mainly because the King was tricked into passing a law that forced people to worship his idol for 30 days. And Daniel did not follow that law.
The fact that Daniel was one of the King’s chief advisers, and the King was distraught to find that he had to be punished. The King could not change the law, he had to follow it, because a King who did not follow his own law would not be respected.
