How Do We Behave?

[Epimethean]

Diffidus:

Unfortunately, laws are extremely malleable. They are always changing and being manipulated for certain political ideological ends. Laws can also be changed abrubtly such that, if there were a clash of ideals in a country, and the establishment of the day thought it was getting out of hand, Martial Law could be declared and you may find yourself being shot down in the street by your own government. Laws are useful, but I don't think they provide a firm moral basis as to how we should behave.

Then you have faith only in the imaginary. Law is real. If it changes, it is because man finds (generally just) reason to change it. If we are strictly speaking of might is right, why did you reference the law at all?

Law is pathetic. It changes according first to how the powerful will it to and then the drama unfolds for the benefit of the fickle and weak masses.

Might makes law, for might is right, and so too are laws just.

'Justice' is as wretched as the laws which declare it.

That may in a certain sense have truth, but if it is absolutely true, we are in actuality puppets, even the anarchists.

We are all puppets

The question is not what is being controlled... but where do the strings lead and why?

You are very cool. I am glad I found this place.
