Despising the rule of the law. I learned how ignorance works against the ignorant and in favor of the ones in power

Since they (the tribes that create one of the first civilizations) did not know how to write, everything was oral-based. Since they may have a vocabulary of say, 150 words, the could interprete things any way they wanted.

Deep inside them, they wanted something that was THE THING. For us mondern men we call that THING -the rule of the law-

Somenthing that was simple for the ignorant to understand and at same time keep people living in a society.

Today is easy because we have common sense, and had on our memories the examples on how lawlessness does not work. Plus we have education in a school system.

Of course, if you write the rules, you can write the rules to favor you. (Is like this today when I get a contract to sign and is slanted towards the guy who wrote it)

But then, the rule of the law -as opposed to lawlessness- is good, one would say.

Yes. On paper. In reality is different. The rule of the law is good until you need to use it.

You can be shafted in USDD1.000, and to claim it -as your right0- you would spend USD500 plus time and headache, found it is not worth the effort and wirte it off as acost of doing business. The guy who shafted you, knows that he can capture that USD1.000 unpunished. As such the rule of the law is useless.
