Lesson 1

THE IMPORTANCE OF RULES

-Rules are meant to set order in society

-Rules are intended for human persons. They are
not meant to limit a person’s freedom which is the
ability to choose and do what is good.
-Those who do what is good don’t even feel the
presence of a rule that prevents them from doing
what is not good. It is those who intend to do the
opposite
-When society is ideal , i,e when all persons are
good and do only what is ideal then there will be
no more need for rules and laws according to Lao
Tzu.
