LAW and Freedom

Law- defined as a rule of conduct or action established by custom or laid down and enforced by governing authority. It seeks to limit men’s action to what is proper by the authority. Its scope varies widely from international down to family level. Even an individual has certain laws he sets for himself.

Law is what binds men and women. But it is also the same law that sends them to war against each other. Though with law’s existence, people are still very fragile to harming each other. It is quite a wonder how people find it so hard to abide by laws that they themselves had established. Could it be because they view it as nothing but a curtailment of their freedom to express themselves?

‘A Law without Freedom is no Law at all.’ Without freedom, a law becomes a tool for slavery; a crime that violates a person’s inherent to live freely. Anyone subjected to such imprudence is bound to fight against it. No matter what the cost, one is bound to fight in order to acquire the freedom he unceasingly yearns for.

Once a man has been cloaked with this coat of freedom, he becomes shouldered with though it’s common that people would rather live a life free from the bondage of laws and everything they want, without regard for the harmful consequences their actions may cause.

However, there can never be freedom without law. In order to enjoy the most freedom, one must learn to restrain one’s self. He must be responsible and disciplined enough to abide by the conditions needed to be free. Freedom comes with a price. And only those willing to pay are fit to enjoy its privilege
