Just yesterday I had one of the most eventful day in my life. Out of everything else, the scooter I was riding broke down in the middle of nowhere. What was worse was that this scooter didn't belong to me and was actually my grandfathers. I pushed it back towards my house (which was pretty far away by the way) As thoughts rushed through my brain. After about an hour of pushing I made it back in one piece. The first words that my grandfather said spelt- What if You had been caught? (yes cause i was driving underaged) Those words hurt me the most. I rushed to my room, banged the door on this and did what I loved the most- Gaming. Later when I was calm as I introspected, I observed that I was not angry at the fact that my grandfather said that to me but because of the fact that driving at my age was illegal. I mean why does such a law even exist. "Laws are for losers" I thought.
Naturally like any other day my mind plunged into the very thought of laws and their existence rather than actually studying for my due exam.
What are laws. When I look up laws in my memory, I see the fear that was instilled into my mind at a raw age of 4. That policemen were extremely powerful people and could take you to jail even based on mere suspicion. Nut then as I grew up I realized that law was something bigger, something greater and something that was accepted by the society as a whole
Then I thought back to why would an individual living in a society feel the need of law. That just seemed to prove my point. The weak needed to ensure their existence and therefore made laws in self-preservation. But then why did the strong listen to them. Why couldn’t we just have ignored the weak and kept doing things our way? So yet again I was baffled to the core point, Where and how did laws come into existence? Why did everybody accept it. And why like every other birth right we have, are we not allowed to choose to obey or break this law by birth.
Then it hit me. The solution. The reason for human survival on this planet, Inequality. IO am not talking about mere superficial inequality. I am talking about the natural inequality that God created among us the ensure a smooth surface.
I figured I was good at driving at a very young age, heck some people aren't any good at that even after their legal age. On the other hand, I am no good at physical fighting, whereas some of the same people who arent good at driving are good at fighting. The answer lies here. Complete personal inequality. How can one expect a government to rule over millions of people where different laws applied for different people? How can any kind of order exist where even the survival of a society is difficult?
And that is where I solved the problem. Here's how I'll put it forth -
Not everyone in the society is equal, NO one is equal and no one is meant to be equal. That is why the words " Law is blind" And "everyone is equal for the law" are so thoughtfully placed. One can never feel that what they did is wrong and what someone else does id=s right because rightfully as humans we have been adapted to the fact that Righteousness is the most noble quality of all, and the thought that we aren't the utmost best in what we do troubles every human. And best of all- 16-year old's could drive scooters legally until I was 16, FUCK YOU LAWS!!
