Revision history [back]

Laws are rules that bind all people living in a community. Originally they stemmed from Natural Law - "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. We have laws to help provide for our general safety.

Now what you say is true; everything is self-balancing. But the issue most human beings have with that is that it's about souls. We have 8.4 million incarnations of which the last ~84,000 are human incarnations. Most people want to "see justice done" within one lifetime.

The soul accumulates karmas and then must continue to incarnate until the karmas are paid, lifetime after lifetime.

Laws and courts come from wanting everything to resolve in a short time-span and the common desire for civilized behavior. Ever read "Lord of the Flies?"
