Why Man-Made Laws can’t solve our problems.
In this post, I’ll give you reasons to believe and to question that Man-Made Laws can never be a good solution to deal with our personal, local, national and international problems they will always have loopholes and vulnerabilities due to which they can never be a good option in the welfare of the people.
When we look around ourselves we find a system where people come together and vote for a bill which they think if it becomes the law will solve their problems. How it works is, if people who are in favour of that bill are in majority then the bill gets approved and it becomes the law. The bill doesn’t become the law if it’s not approved in the parliament.
This system will work in the welfare of the people until a majority of good people with a sense of justice exists within this law-making group of people. When the number of good people decreases and the number of bad and corrupt people increases in this group of the law-making body then the situation becomes devastating. Decisions are then taken not in the welfare of the people but in the interest of a certain agenda or may be under the influence of individuals or organizations that are outside this lawmaking body who wants certain laws to be made for their own benefit.
In such situations, we find the voice of people who stand for justice, equality and the welfare of the people are made silent. Their voices go unheard and due to this failure of the system the common man suffers. Anyone can take advantage of this weakness and if a group of corrupt people come with a pre-plan of exploiting this vulnerability and take over this lawmaking body they can come up with laws that can break the spine of a nation and yet no one can question them as everything will happen within the boundaries of the law.
Why should a common man suffer due to the failure in the system?
An average of 80 murders, 289 kidnappings and 91 rapes were reported every single day across the country in 2018, according to the latest data by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). 22 Lakh cases are pending in courts for a decade or more. This clearly shows how the system has failed. Daily we heard the news of rape and murder cases though we are told actions are taken against those crimes but we find that these crimes continue to happen again and again. One of the reasons is that the consequences that are set for these crimes are not absolute and have flaws in them. This shows that people who set up this system in the first place were not perfect even the laws they made are not perfect. Hence Man Made laws can’t be perfect, thus not a good decision in the welfare of the people.
By giving all the points above and below I want the human mind to think and ponder because we are the ones who decide who rules over us. We are the one who decides what to follow and what not to follow. We can either speak and contribute to a positive change or else keep supporting the current situation through our silence.
I’ll present an example which will demonstrate that how humans are limited in their knowledge and at a certain point they can’t take any further decision from their knowledge, at this point, they require guidance from someone who knows more than what all the human knows and that can be non but their creator, Allah(God).
The primary medium through which we learn anything is our senses which include vision, smell, touch, listening and taste. For example, by looking at a wall we can learn about the colour of the wall. By touching the wall we can learn about the material that was used to construct that wall. But by touching or looking at the wall we can not learn who constructed this wall. So the secondary medium through which we learn is our mind which includes logic, rationality and intelligence. When the primary medium fails to answer a question then the secondary medium comes into play.
But there also comes a point when the secondary medium of learning, the mind also comes to a halt and cannot move further. At this point the humans are left with no other option but to turn towards the source that knows more than they know, that is indeed its creator. It can be better understood with the following example. A gun is kept on the table. By looking, touching, smell and sound we can learn about its colour, weight, the material used and speed of the bullet but using our primary sources of learning we can not learn who made this gun, for this our mind and intelligence come into play. Furthermore this intelligence comes to a dead end when we try to learn on whom to use and not to use this gun on.
Roughly the mind will say this guns should not be used on innocents, people who have done nothing wrong. The mind will also advocate that it is justified to use this gun on a murderer who has taken someone’s life, so the mind will go for a life for a life revenge formula. But in the same scenario, the mind can also advocate that it is not even justified to use this gun on a murderer why because the murderer has a wife, kids and a family who has done nothing wrong. So if we use this gun to kill the murderer his family will suffer because of the absence of a husband, father and a son.
Readers should see that both these arguments are coming from the same mind. Now the mind and intelligence have come to a halt now someone else who is more knowledgable and wise will tell us who to use this gun on, what is the right time to use it that is none but our creator, Allah(GOD). Similarly, the Man-Made laws are nothing but what the human mind thinks is perfect but it’s not. So does questions like what should be the punishment of a murderer, rapist, thief, an adulterer etc can not be answered by a human mind. A clear example is the result of already setup consequences for these crimes. Have they been able to stop these crimes? NO! These crimes continue to happen on a large scale.
An average of 80 murders, 289 kidnappings and 91 rapes were reported every single day across the country in 2018, according to the latest data by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
It clearly shows humans have failed to come up with an absolute solution, which is no surprise, Even if they try their best still the laws that they will come up with will have flaws. Through this post, I’m leaving the readers with questions to ponder over. It’s time to rethink and evaluate our situation and take steps to improve.
