Towards an ethical society…

The world is changing fast and with boundaries shortening and with a new age dawning isn’t it needed to atleast consider thinking about alternative ideologies, philosophies and convictions to come in?

The world, the nation, the state is in equilibrium; at ease, and everything works good cause it is written down what all things shouldn’t be done, the irony being you may only know the consequence of breaking a law only after u break it, you broke something that you didn’t know and which might affect the running of things, or the moral state of a society. Tit for tat and tat for tit? Is this what an ideal society should follow? After all what is law? Isn’t it fear?

A law might be a bad destiny for a person and fearing that he might abide…but on what is he abiding it for? Isn’t it because of fear? Isn’t there a more better and ethical policy that could be used?

Isn’t this a system that has been around for thousands of years, shouldn’t it be considered a barbaric way of treating a citizen, giving away fear so that he might not commit a mistake. What I am talking may not be appropriate for a lot of cases or in some of cases but that lot or some exists as a nuisance in the society. Imparting fear to function anything should be considered inappropriate in this age of knowledge. Why can’t a sense of pride be developed in everybody so that a ethical society be formed? There is a simple but huge difference between ethics and law, ethics is your responsibility whereas law is somebody else’s. So what should a society aim for? An ethical citizen who is not abiding anything or an unethical creature who follows just for the sake of it... So if you think about it for a minute you will understand that fear is the motivating factor for not commiting a crime. Why isn't it a moral obligation?
