Equality 7-2521: Right Or Wrong?

It may be a sin, but it can grant great freedom. Equality 7-2521 sinned. He re-created electricity and made the mistake of showing his invention to the council. But, instead of destroying the contraption like the council demanded, he took off into the Unmarked forest. Strangely, he did not feel like he did anything wrong.

Equality had no intent of harming anyone, he wanted to help his society. Is it wrong that he felt no wrong doing for doing something right?

Equality wanted to be recognized and he wanted to make his society a better place. If anyone was in his position, do you think they would feel wrong for wanting to help better their society? I know I
