If you cannot patiently bear correction, endeavor to avoid fault – Norm Macdonald (1959-2021), Canadian stand-up Comedian, Actor and Writer
Laws are generally made to regulate human behaviors as relate different aspects of our lives. Established laws help ensure fairness, balance, equity, parity and sanity in a society. Human excesses are checked through the enactment of laws as they serve as guidance and standard for acceptable behavior.
A society without law would encourage disorderliness and abuses by other people. Abuse and misuse of power are inevitable in a setting where there are no laws. Where there is no law, they say, there is no sin. Offences are bound to occur when laws are enacted. Committing an offence then means the individual has disobeyed the law.
