Legality and morality are diametrically opposed. Legality is based on the arbitrary whims of our political masters. Man-made law is not a suggestion or recommendation. It is a mandate or edict backed by threat of punishment. It is an opinion backed by a gun. It bears no relation to reality. When an elite minority dictates law with sovereign immunity the results can be genocidal.
Morality is objective and universal. It is the unwritten golden rule that we all inherently understand when we interact with family, close friends, and loved ones. No one dictates how we should treat our family, close friends, or loved ones. This is true Anarchy and spontaneous order in action!
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love 1963
