The notion of law and the perished justice

I think lulu somehow triggered something in me to explore with you some elements that are not apparent to many of you on issues concerning the law. I have previously written a post about the law and how choosing to enforce it or not is not an option therefore it is hypocritical to have laws in the first place if for any reason you choose to enforce it at your pleasure. So why do we have laws then?

A simple answer would be that, we have laws as means for enforcing power yet people in authority tend to use the law as a tool to enforce their will, a dramatic alteration from having laws to create justice.

To complicate the matter more “the fun part”, one may ask, is the law the only way for justice?

To be continued..
