Law, Morality and Emotional Regulation

        The law is the catalyst of morality. We are humans and we tend to have a 6th sense. The sense to act as we think. Our thinking is affected by our emotions. Our cognitive ability is pretty complex to understand normally but it’s simple to say that we are emotional beings and we know to communicate the emotions through actions and words. So such actions can either be good or bad. Moral and immoral. It’s good when it’s a greater good. It’s bad when it’s a serious threat to such greater good. And to chuck off immorality and make us move towards the path of greater good, law exists! A person between closed doors can’t be governed by the state directly. There’s no watch-man to one’s virtues except the self. To take you to a better direction, the sense of morality is important. It’s a powerful tool to build a healthy society. 

    So now that we get some connection between law, morality and emotional regulations to build a healthy society, humans really need help to be self-aware. The help that the state (country we live in)  must actually provide. We have to try to be virtuous. Education is actually something that teaches what a human can be and do with all his senses. (Spiritual texts do that though.) What’s right and what’s wrong. 

    A person hurting another is just because he couldn’t regulate his emotions is wrong as he doesn’t have the right to do so. Harming oneself is also wrong as we don’t have that right either. A person’s conscience is the law of his own mind. It’s the integral part of human’s psychological anatomy. Teaching a human from the beginning that his every action and deed counts is essential. We need to build ourselves with integrity. We don’t always live within closed doors. We are social beings and we tend to interact with the world. We need to have boundaries and respect for each other to co-exist. 
    
    Failing so often, human basically needs law to govern his action. An offender is punished only for is immoral deed that’s proved beyond doubt. An immoral-actions stems from emotional non regulation. Law’s duty is to provide justice. A justice that humans deserve for their actions. The sixth sense is pretty dangerous! An offender committing a heinous crime could have been a person of good virtues if at all he had been taught to identify his conscience and be self-aware. Governing oneself with utmost conscience and integrity is actual humanity. No one is naturally allowed to affect someone else’s life. But unfortunately, this world fails to operate that way. So, we can choose a world of compassion or compromise it with being inhumane. We can take conscious step to build morals or succumb to our own selfish emotions. The choice is ours.
