Being able to keep going

It seems to me that law (or positive law) is a discipline of sociology and has more to do with politics and the capacity to maintain authority (not necessarily in the political and military sense either...) than with any 'real' law. As they say, he who has the might, has the right...

Therefore, when thinking about the law, we have to recognise this boundary. Humans, the more cultured we become, the more 'specialised' our education becomes. Certainly the world of humans is a narrow one. In real martial arts, one is trained to recognise weaknesses. The deeper one goes into the training, the more one recognises the existence of subtlety.

Obviously by mentioning the martial arts, I reveal the rationale behind my questions (not that many people will recognise that rationale as having anything to do with martial arts...). As a martial artist, though, it seems that I am bound(?) to explore, study and recognise these weaknesses. When I think about positive law, then these weaknesses become glaringly obvious.

I guess this leads to questions such as "Was there a 'law' that 'existed' before humans and if so, will it continue to exist after? I guess this leads to what some refer to as natural or Divine law.

I guess that ultimately, what I am asking is, "How should humans govern their lives?"....

This is a difficult topic....
