Handicap Law

Handicap Law

What I find particularly fascinating is the notion that man has created "God's" law. Over time and throughout history we have come to obey these laws and make our actions the norm. With the exception of the sociopath, people within our society have to find a way to justify their misdeeds and wrongdoings. This is so because our society frowns upon "bad behavior" and whether we use displaced aggression or justification of cruelty, we must legitimize our faults. Today, we've become so accustom to the norm, being "good" that is, that we ostracize the bad. The notion that God keeps our community together and in order is absurd. Our laws have shaped our history, which has added up to our current state of being. If the God element were to be removed from equation, based on technicality, the "law" system shall fall. With no laws, no boundaries, no perceptual blinders, anything is possible. When the rules no longer apply, one might think chaos and mayhem would arise, however, based on our history, man would still have to justify himself to his fellow man for any wrong doing, even if by law, no wrong doing has been committed. Without boundaries to keep man in, man feels forlorn, abandoned, for he has "nothing to cling to"(22) However, once the walls of religion and false hopes have been broken, we can look past the perceptual, mental and emotional machinery that blocks our mountain view of reality. The dark side to this revelation is that man will be alone, left with no excuses for any such conduct if the laws that guide us are taken away. Now, thousands of years after the delivery of the commandments, the law is our crutch.
