LAW

LAW - Literally Apathetic Witchcraft ‘or’ Let’s Accept Willfully?
LAW: an ordinance of reason for common goal made by him who has care for the community. ~ Thomas Aquinar ~
Do we really care for our community? Of course we do and hence we are driven by such laws which are made either to restrain or enlarge freedom as Man is just a primitive without laws. Then again, a law without force is impotent so its enforcement is endeavored. It is the Authority which makes the law, not the wisdom. The powerful system often weeds out the genius mind. The law always limits every power it gives. More law, lesser justice. As a result people crushed by laws have no hope but to evade power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law!! It is needless to mention how we ‘exempt’ our enemies from all laws of friendship! It has been the worst enemy of woman. It is rightly said that the nature has given women so much power that the Law has very wisely given them little.

If I had to summarize the purpose of Law through a rhapsody, then Law is –
The legislature’s job to write it,
The executive branch to interpret,
Corporate daddies to slack it,
Professionals to loophole it,
Scholars to memorize it,
And most especially, The layman and Jay-Z to middle finger it!

Hence the community has been taken care of. While some incurred or suffered, many figured and conquer red. But alas! The purpose of Law is butchered. Every time a law is framed, the ways to breach are sprung up. Then what lies in the essence of making laws? The computers say – “NULL, VOID (main), ERROR” 

Here’s a simple one. We can’t compel anyone to be righteous, but what we can do is, live lives as though our every act was to become an ordinance. The good of the people is the greatest law!!
