The paradox is just that when a law is implemented it will invariably intrude on the freedom of one person. So in effect we need a society to be sensitive enough to hear the justice of the one.

The purpose of life is to know truth or not...

I don't think the Golden Rule can be underestimated when contemplating the purpose of life. I ran across the following expression of the Golden Rule today while investigating Walter Russell.

Quote:
Code Of Ethics
for a living philosophy

  • To bring blessing on yourself, bless your neighbor.

  • To enrich yourself, enrich your neighbors.

  • Honor your neighbor and your neighbor will honor you.

  • To sorely hurt yourself, hurt your neighbor.

  • He who seeks love will find it by giving it.

  • The measure of a man’s wealth, is the measure of the of the wealth he has given.

  • To enrich yourself with many friends, enrich your friends with yourself.

  • That which you take away from any man, the world will take away from you.

  • When you take the first step to give yourself to that which you want, it will also take the first step to give itself to you.

  • Peace and happiness do not come to you from your horizon. They spread from you out to infinity beyond your horizon.

  • The whole Universe is a mirror which reflects back to you, that which you reflect into it.

  • Love is like the ascent of a high mountain peak. It comes ever nearer to you as you go ever nearer to it.

There is the concept of karma in there as well.
