As usual, I want you to define “law” and “the law”
For yourself
And then, I want you to define “truth” for yourself.
For everyone understands these words and phrases their own way
We nuh want any troubles or mix-ups!
Remember this?
I bet this equation can speak a little about truth.
Lies can never be the truth…they can only be “your version of the truth”
The law is words, phrases, numbers and tenses put together
For a given land, institution, beings and occupants to abide by
It doesn’t mean that it is “right” or the “truth”
It is only true that it exists!
Lastly, the law can be “adjusted” (mis)appropriately to fit the prevailing circumstances
The truth, on the other hand, cannot be adjusted to “fit the prevailing circumstances”
It stands alone and the test of time.

I have felt this way for years. It seems that not matter where you go, there are so many out there who create laws that don’t serves the public.
👏🏿👏🏿😩😩 sadly right!
I love this so much. I have known so many people in my life that seemed to think half truths and “bending the truth” were not lying and a perfectly acceptable way to go through life. BUT those things ARE lying. It’s an awful idea to have.
👏🏿👏🏿😩
I think that some laws make sense but unfortunately, many laws seem to serve certain people’s agenda.
😩😩👏🏿👏🏿
Of course, there are many laws that do make sense, but there are still quite a few that have me scratching my head at their purpose.
😩😩
1/2 truth is not Truth, haha. And you are very right, the law is not truth. Although, we are supposed to tell the truth in court do determine if we obeyed or disobeyed the law, or when acting as a witness. The famous oath here in the states in courtrooms “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, do help you God?
😂😂😂😂
There are so many different interpretations of things, and so many gray areas. Definitely something to think about.
😌😩👏🏿👏🏿
Such a informative post when it comes to law and courts. Sadly, a lot of us have truly learned, it’s not about the truth, it’s only about what you can prove.
😌😩
This is so true. Especially the half truth still being a lie.
😭😭😭
This post really got me thinking! There are so many laws that make no sense, or exist in one place but not in a neighboring place. If it were true that a certain law is “true” or “right”, then why are some actions legal if I stand in one spot, but if I walk a few steps over an imaginary border they become illegal?
😭😭😭 rriigghhtttt?
Ah, yes! There are so many versions of the truth and those who perceive anything but the truth as the truth. This needs to change.
😭😩
I equate the law more with social order and the truth is subjective!
😌😩👏🏿
WOW1 I love this topic. I know so many people who feel this way. In fact I too did.
😂😂👏🏿👏🏿
