Law

Law based on human rights

Law based on property & privilege

Without knowledge of law we are still likely to operate within it if we abide by the principle of no harm.

Justice is served more by a just judiciary than a written law.

Atonement

Atonement & Amends

Denial & Punishment

Conciliation requires our willingness to atone and make amends. The willingness to make amends and atone attends to our genuine contrition. This facilitates the conciliation of those of us wronged with those of us who have wronged and humanity in general. It assists closure and a new beginning.
