is a question to be pondered upon by all living beings with a working IQ in order to survive a man-made construct. Now dont get me wrong, it aint all bad and I didnt mean it in the most abhorring way. Reality is a construct developed through evolution, emanation. Ergo every concept, system, geography (the world) were emulated for necessity and are now common knowledge in every nook of the globe. Pronunciation for the alphabet 'W' is 'double-you', never has been 'double-V' and never will be although the latter made much more sense to our own sense of affinity. Why? Just because it seemed more fitting. The concept of universality thus born; for practicality, uniformity, convenience, statistics, studies, ease, unity, standards, labels, studies, studies and more studies. And here we are standing beneath a fragile glass of perseverance, chaotic as ever.
Ironically though, not much done (not exponentially, at least) for the word of law. The distinction of right and wrong laid out for you in express form. An eulogy to the great rulers of Mesopotamia; the Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians and Assyrians.. yada-yada. But of course, there would, could not be a civilization had it not been for the amalgation of belief systems and culture. We tend to resort to any sort of order for structure. A combination of vast amount of possibilities, hope and promises, and flavours, the law embodies the general concept of good and bad - but lex is not moral, as it is not ethics. Has since gone through myriad of changes suitable for each second.
Now. Hair turns white as day goes night; the only constant is change. For something so complex, the question is simple, what's your moral compass?
