Dr Siu,
I'm afraid you confused a natural laws with human laws. Law means something very different in those 2 context. Natural law is like gravity, there is no right or wrong, and it is always true (you cannot violate the law of gravity). Human laws are more like guidelines, or morals (backed by punishment if violated).
Now you talk about survival of the fittest (strong overcomes the weak) which is a natural law, but is it the way humans should behave? It is very important to distinguish whether its right or wrong, because if its right, then we should repeat such behavior, whereas if its wrong, then we should not.
To give to 2 examples:
If an airplane falls out of the sky and kills hundreds of passengers. Should we look at the natural law (gravity), and say the airplane crashed because of gravity, which is natural and right and we should not look further? Or should we look at the human aspect, such as possible negligence, and determine who or what went wrong, so that it does not happen again?
Another example. If a robber breaks in Dr Siu's home and takes all his possessions and kills his family, should Dr Siu call the police, have the robber arrested and put on trial? Or should Dr Siu say, "Well, I am weak and he is strong, so this is alright. It is my fault for not working out more and learning kung fu and becoming strong so I could fight off the robber."? |
