Is this a good way of making decisions?

Positive Impact: 8. You'll get more money out of it, which is always good.
Negative Impact: 6. You'll feel sorry for a while. The odds of you getting arrested over it are low.
Conclusion: Take the risk and do it.

For me the negative impact would be 10 as it would operate outside my morality. But okay, if you have no moral problem committing burglary, go for it. See what happens and where it gets you.

Well, having to divide negative impact into physical impact and moral impact already shows that this really is too simple of a way to go about decision making.
