Are laws useful?

Simply put, law is the rules for people to do things. As a kind of social animal, human beings live in the large environment of society. After long-term accumulation, various rules have been formed in all aspects of life, and a large part of these rules have become a kind of human beings. Habits, such as eating three meals a day, working during the day and sleeping at night, etc., are all human rules. Just because they have been embedded in the lowest level of human consciousness, we will abide by these rules without any external force. As for us not realizing that these are rules too.

There is no essential difference between law and these rules. They are just rules for human existence, or an order of existence created by human beings themselves. The difference is that law is the outermost order of these rules. People can not abide by the above rules. For example, if I skip three meals a day and sleep during the day and work at night, no one will force me not to do so. The reason I don't do this is that I don't want to do it myself, because those consciousnesses have been deeply embedded in my thoughts and I will not violate them. But the law is different. The law is a wider circle than these rules. Within this circle, I can move freely if I want; outside this circle, I cannot move. The reason why I cannot move at this time Not because I don't want to, but because the law doesn't allow me to do it.

The poster can understand it this way, rules are a circle, human beings live in the circle of rules (order), and the law is the outermost circle, and one cannot step outside the circle.
