Warning Christian value references – might be pertinent to international regulation
Reminder I am not a lawyer
If A is right is part of the cost. Laws and regulations, judgments by courts factor into what is seen as A, right, how things should work out.
Questioning A is right, making others question if A is right is not always ideal. Finding ways to not have the problems and consequential trials and executions in the first place seems like high value added. There is value in being in alignment with authority – more open communication channels, access to power and resources that might not be available if one is seen as fights against authority, questions right and choice on a common basis.
Oppression and injustice are sometimes commented on as means of protection yet has potential to undermine authority in places it is not meant. Protecting people from injustice does not equal breaking laws is ideal, that breaking laws and not reinforcing laws should be broken is zero consequence. Even if a law shouldn’t be followed, having a law on the books that shouldn’t be followed and not following it has potential to reinforce other laws questioned as valid or broken.
God, Christ in The Bible says Mercy will be given to the Merciful, Forgive and you will be Forgiven. Christianity is not believed by all, less need to give mercy or forgiveness in the first place is valuable. That said turning up Mercy and Grace, Forgiveness for others likely will lead to a World where Forgiveness and Grace is seen more as an option. Governments and power has potential to change over time, turned up in advance has value.
Easy to turn up unforgiveness and less mercy, grace without trying to. Mankind has potential for turning up assessment, right and wrong, good and bad, problem not a problem. Similar thought patterns used for concepts like engineering and art might lead to feeling of has to be right, has to be right might not be ideally applicable to all situations and contexts.
Collective groups might be more likely to prosecute a person than individuals. I paid tax dollars in the past, I don’t like injustice, injustice sometimes exists in systems. Pontius Pilate and citizens calling for Christ’s death. Thoughts of citizens that paid taxes but didn’t see the injustice. Working against bandwagon appeal is harder than people think – might be fired, might be put on the street, mind wind up in their shoes not all ideal.
Don’t push against a brick wall, go with the flow, wind will take us where need to go no need to change course – all mindsets that make sense yet might not ideal in situations where it is valuable to fight injustice.
I care about fighting injustice and I don’t want people that are part of the system, fellow citizens to be hurt. Thinking of ways to fight in productive, non-violent ways in advance, when you aren’t angry, disheartened might lead to greater capacity to solve problems when life has stacked more on you than you think you can handle. The thought – I am mad at the system but I partially invest in a system that is less than ideal, want all the people that are part of the system and not part of the system protected in ideal ways, blessed in ideal ways is notable. Better methods might equate to less time costs later, greater peace with less side effects.
