Thursday 19 may 2022Humans are born as social beings who depend on others. A person cannot rely on himself just like that without needing help from the people around him.
That's what then makes humans live by the various rules they have. Even small things such as games or sports have their own rules, especially when life is governed by norms and laws. However, if you imagine what human life would be like without rules, then the following things might be possible.
1. Conflicts are popping up everywhere
Conflict is actually a natural and normal thing that occurs in every element of society, even at the family level. This is because humans have personal views, values, and characters which then cause gaps with other people.
It is not surprising then that many of these things will lead to disputes that may occur between humans. It is conceivable that if life is without rules or laws, the conflicts that erupt can also have a wide scale and threaten many people. Without rules, conflicts that occur are difficult to resolve.
2. Crime is a common thing
Each country enforces its own rules that focus not only on norms, but also on the law as a reference in the social order. This will make criminals or criminals will have a big impact on their actions.
The root causes of crime come from social, economic conditions, to local culture. If you imagine human life without rules, then crime has become a daily food. Everyone can act as they please without fear of legal consequences. Obviously this is impossible to apply to humans.
3. Life will be far from peaceful and filled with fear
Humans certainly expect a peaceful life and filled with peace in carrying out daily activities. This is because peace in life is the right of every human being without exception and is not limited by anything.
Unfortunately, different things will happen if humans live without rules around them. Peace will be taken away and life will only be full of worries. This is because there are no rules that can be used to protect oneself, so it is difficult to survive in such a situation.
4. The loss of affection between humans
Humans are naturally endowed with reason and feeling, so they can think things through before doing them. In addition, the feelings that humans have will also help them in conveying messages of love and affection towards fellow humans.
This is because for humans, love is the most important thing. Even for children and teenagers, it can actually increase self-confidence and self-esteem. Imagining humans living without rules is the same as imagining humans without love.
The only thing that will happen is destruction and greed. Human beings can attack each other without the need for punishment and this can be based on sheer ambition.
5. The destruction of human civilization
Humans are considered as noble creatures when compared to other creatures. Of course, this is what must make human life filled with all good things, because of the intellect and feelings they have. Humans do have the right to life, but they do not interfere with each other, but live side by side and full of harmony.
If you imagine the destruction of human life due to the absence of rules, then it is the same as imagining that human civilization will be damaged. More than that, human extinction is also possible for this.
It seems impossible to imagine humans living without rules. If that happens, the riots and problems will never end.
So it would be terrible if this life had no rules. But fortunately the rules are created and humans can live more peacefully, although there are still many people who violate the rules, but there are laws that will process human mistakes who violate the rules.
