why do we need rules ?

[coralie]

some will say "Every society has rules and laws, and every law restricts freedom. "

some others will say rules protect us from anarchy and chaos , protect our rights our honor and our freedom .

Why are these rules and laws needed, to protect us from harm, to help us live together in our communities, to help us distinguish between right and wrong, to ensure fairness?

What happens when rules are broken?

what would happen if there were no rules ?

Rules are only made because there are alot of idiots. If every person is responsible and knows how to respect then there wouldn't be any need for rules. It is sad also how many rules get so complicated, that they don't reveal the essence behind them anymore.

On a sidenote, anarchy, if properly done, is not a bad thing neither. Bad connotation to it has been done extensively by propaganda to protect alot of regimes. They link it with violence and chaos. This is completely untrue, anarchy is when there's no one above you ruling you, where the only moral standard is respect between individuals of a society. It is a far dream, but it is the most humane aspect of humanity.

But meanwhile, rules are a necessity, no one is starting any anarchy before being totally sure that a society is completely aware and on a higher level of respect.

even though our basic freedoms are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, keep in mind that it is not the written word, but the people behind the written word, who must protect our freedoms and rights. The law provides a guide, but people provide the power to make it work. This includes YOU! (you means every individual)

The people that enforce the law deserve our respect. The vast majority of them are high quality people who are dedicated to serving their communities. Their job is sometimes difficult, and if they are to be effective in protecting our freedoms and rights, they must have our support.

You may not always agree with a policeman or policewoman, but it is important that you give them your cooperation. If you feel that the police have acted unfairly, the law provides the means for you to challenge their conduct. Don’t do it by using profanity, violence, or resistance. Speak your mind if you wish, but do it with dignity and courtesy.

Humans are not so developed yet to live in a society which does not contain any rules.
The aim should be a society where you dont need to have a watch dog over you (protecting and punishing) because everybody would know how to behave, how to respect others, how to lead a prosperous life which is inclusive to all humans. This is yet an utopia.

I think its not about the numbers but the quality:) meaning that it is not important how numerous we are, what is important is the level of our mentality and how mature, responsible we are. This can mean 6 billion responsible individuals too, there wont be any problem for them to live in a society.

At present, through the world, people are at different levels of development, question is what happens when we reach the critical mass? Wont there be any frictions anymore?

لا اؤمن بالشرائع ....وان وجدت فاحطمها ...لانني اعتقد انه تقيد الانسان تدجنه تكبت انسانيته في جسده ...تجعله غير قادر على التصرف بحرية او تجعله غير مرتاح مع ذاته ....فيدخل في اطار البروتوكول والواجب والعيب والحرام ...

لا يجب ان يكون هناك من حدود نحن بشر وعلينا التمتع ببشريتنا الى اقصى حدود لست اقول بالملذات انا اقول بالبشرية وهي الشععور بالحب بالغضب بالكفر بالرغبة بالبركان العاطفي فهؤلاء يجعلان من الانسان انسانا ....ان فقدهم ما بقي منه ؟صيته ....ويا للفزلكة الاجتماعية......

سنة النشوء والارتقاء هي ما تتكلمين عنه هنا ....حين ترتفع المجتمعات ...حين تتعامل مع الاخر كانسان لا ككتل من المشاعر والافكار البائدة والقوانين الفارغة ...لكن حتى الوصول علينا ان نعيش في الواقع وهو ان البقاء للاقوى ...ولا حدود ان بقاءنا كان في خطر

Rules are a prerequisite for any civilized society.

We even find this in the animal kingdom.
