I recently realized that the ONLY reason we have laws is because some asshole did something obnoxious and society collectively agreed that they shouldn’t be able to do that anymore.
Most people can police themselves and be respectful to others, but the inconsiderate assholes of the world can’t participate in society without threats hanging over their heads.
I guess I meant the idea of laws, and not every single law ever, but still, sometimes the assholes are put in charge of making the laws, and society either decides to make a law about not making those kind of laws anymore, or they agree to uphold them.
