Laws and Society.

The recent spate of the law being perceived to have been broken is indeed disturbing. There have been molestations, and rapes of ladies, in public,as well as in private, robberies and murders. However, one must ask the elected rulers about these state of affairs. A pedestrian may loose a limb in a car accident, but instead of working to minimise situations of further accidents, we blame the owner, associated with the vehicle. The pedestrian has already lost his limb, and has paid for his part in the accident. Is the pedestrian to be asked, why he was foolish enough to use the road, and then go to the law for remedy? In an accident, there are two parties. I believe, that it reflects on the failure of society, as a whole, which is a further reflection on these state of affairs. The same people, who are in conflict with the law, are electing lawmakers, among themselves. Are the lawmakers, above reproach? Is this not a collective failure? Can the lawmakers say, that they have been blameless, and successful in their endeavor, towards the nation? Firstly, everyone has to be equally accountable, to oneself, before one is accountable to society. There will always be someone to run the country, but am I the best person to be a part of government? As long as we strive, can we blame others, who are always striving? I believe, law should not be a means of punishing the individual, we are already punished, by our mere survival, but law should be seen as a consequence of ones action, for example, like stepping on a banana peel, and landing on ones behind. this is because, however much you tell a person that he is wrong, it will be extremely difficult for him to accept it. Even if he does accept, he will take his acceptance as a virtue, and will call himself a martyr. The government is advised to promote peace, in the paramount interest to society.
