What if we were free to do anything we want, that we wouldn’t be asked to abide by any rule. Wouldn’t that be great if only we and only us decide about what to do and how to live? Isn’t it amazing if we don’t need anyone to validate or invalidate our actions? Wouldn’t that be fantastic if we ourselves can decide about our rights and obligations?

2. What if we were free to do
anything we want, that we
wouldn’t be asked to abide by
any rule. Wouldn’t that be great
if only we and only us decide
about what to do and how to
live? Isn’t it amazing if we don’t
need anyone to validate or
invalidate our actions? Wouldn’t
that be fantastic if we
ourselves can decide about our
rights and obligations?
3. What is right and
wrong? How do we
learn about what is
right and wrong? Is it
possible that
everyone would
agree on what is
right or wrong?
4. In the world we live in
now, we have nations and
governments.
Governments have vested
power attained through
elections to set the rules
and enforce them. And
these rules stand as the
law and as a source of
deciding between what is
right and wrong.
5. But do we need the law?
What happens if don’t
have the law? Don’t we
know what is right and
wrong as human beings,
from our conscience?
Wouldn’t it be limiting
our conscience to set
limiting laws on
ourselves and our
curious nature?
6. Do we need the law
to maintain order?
Isn’t the human race
evolved enough to
live in harmony and
peace and
cooperation on its
own?
7. Wikipedia defines Politics
as the set of activities that
are associated with
making decisions in groups,
or other forms of power
relations among individuals,
such as the distribution of
resources or status. I
would like to redefine
politics as the Science of
Association.
8. The Science of
Association is the
science of people, its
common purpose, and
the service involved.
This definition would
serve the common
purpose people should
have.
9. Why do we need to establish
an authority to serve our
common purpose? Wouldn’t
that be opening doors for
unfairness and abuse? We
are human beings and we
should be able to cooperate
and decide for a better world
and a better future. We should
share the resources we have
fairly and live in harmony
instead of making guns and
bombs and fighting with each
other.
10. The law seems to be
something that gets
complicated for its own sake.
Misconduct seems to be a
simple case but the law gives
it the name of crime that
would only get worse with its
control and correction system
that wastes a lot of time and
energy. The law and crime
seem to have a cause-and-
effect relationship.
11. We can have normalization
systems in place to discuss
issues that emerge and that
demand our attention. The
legislative, judiciary, and
executive systems that
governments have, that
only complicate things
should be replaced by
effective social
normalization systems.
12. Understanding the
right thing comes
from acting
responsibly. We
should take time to
stop and look, and see
what would be the
best thing we can do.
