Previous-Essay <== This-Essay ==> Following-Essay By-Months By-Years By-Words Webs of Like-&-Un-Like ESSAYS <==> Like-&-UN-Like This-One ========================================================== %LAW VS PEOPLE 780616 There is an essential tension between "law" and "people" as: sources of authority, understanding, desire, and power; origins of commitment, constraint, responsibility, and content of expressions; guides for process, decision, and action; definitions of needs, propriety, reason, meaning, fulfillment, permission, satisfaction, and sanity; bases for governmental goals and means. Efforts to relax the tension by an exclusive tendency to one pole are common, but are counter- productive by occasioning the growth of counter-forces which restore the tension. In the tension "law" pertains to formal laws, informal laws, traditions, adopted policies, taboos, conventions, rituals, role models, life-styles, habits, morality, ethics, institutions, diplomatic protocols, etc. which originate outside a person and act to direct the perceptions, interests, desires, decisions, and actions of the person without regard for the unique character, body, soul, spirit, and origin of the person. In the tension "people" pertains to what is unique in people and integral to that which is unique in people. Some people tend to be dominated by "law". Other people tend to be dominated by other "people". Some see "law" as the solution to domination by "law". Exclusive solutions thus tend to occasion each other, and generate exclusive people who in their extremism cannot see the value in the complimentary other, and so see no need for compromise and synthesis; balance between the poles of the essential tension. The tension between "law" and "people" is a perspective on the tension between "objectivity" and "subjectivity", between the "Two Cultures" in their varied manifestations. Mutual awareness and mutual understanding will be promoted by the affirmation of the contributions which people at each pole of the tension have to offer to those at the other pole of the tension---in order that new generations may incarnate a better balance between the essential elements of real living in a community of individuals creating meaning in their communities as they help each other realize their unique potentials for love.
