The Price Of Civilization

I believe in discipline.
I believe in order too.
Therefore, I believe in rules;
not many … but, a few.
Rules correct man’s laxities
and demand we all obey.
Then, discipline and order
become … the order of the day.
Laws, may sometimes, divert to Limbo,
a host of mankind’s fun;
when one law, or rule, unwittingly
negates another one.
But, all in all, the benefits
outweigh the other side;
that’s why discipline and order,
in this world … can’t be denied.
So, we knuckle down, and buckle up,
and take each day in stride.
We do some things we don’t enjoy;
that’s how the law of man’s applied.
I believe in discipline!
I believe in order too!
As long as law and order
protect the masses … not the few!

I believe that it is the want of JUSTICE that can make the application of mere laws so unpalatable.
If made and applied with equanimity and justice they are just great,-
like this GREAT Write.
and may the laws always serve a purpose for
the Greater Glory of God
Be blessed abundantly John!

True. And yet, I long for Love, the fulfillment of every law. But as long as we humans are selfish, we will not know real Love.
Law has its drawbacks as well.
