Law and Nature

I can find some similarities between law and nature. Nature is beautiful. It is God's creation. But man, over many ages, polluted the land, the waters and the air.

The law is beautiful. It is inspired by what is right and just. But some people, for selfish reasons mostly, prostitute the legal system and make it work for their own selfish ends.

There is nothing wrong with nature. There is nothing wrong with the law. It is man's greed, carelessness, apathy and lack of knowledge and understanding that destroys the beauty of both nature and the laws.

I believe that because of man's incapacity to take care of what is God-given, God Himself intervenes in His own majestic way. For polluting and destroying the environment, we are witnessing floods, poisoning of the atmosphere, rivers and the seas. For distorting and twisting the law, we are witnessing the corruption of people's minds and the triumph of evil in our midst.

When shall we ever learn?
