“I’m not sure it’s the rules or laws that govern’s one’s behavior. 2/3’s of the population don’t adhere to speed limits.Those who are hell bent on doing their own selfish thing, with no regard to the law or another’s safety, do it anyway! Our laws are an indicator of behavior that’s acceptable in a specific society. They don’t, in themselves, control people. They are a guide to acceptable behavior for those who care about acceptable behavior. The best influence to behavior is how you are brought up in this world, and time and place. A person born into poverty with poor parenting will probably consider life “unfair” and probably not follow the rules. Emotional development also plays a part with one’s behavior in life. For some, it’s stunted.

I was brought up in a home with average wealth and had many personal opportunities due to time and place. However, it wasn’t a free ride. My parents didn’t provide me with spending cash. I had to earn it by working as a teen. They also taught me responsibility and morals. As a member of this world, because I was treated fairly and learned the accomplishments of earning my own funds, I am inclined to extend that fairness and those opportunities to others, who are also willing to put forth the effort. Without laws, my behavior wouldn’t change. It’s my upbringing and compasion toward others that regulates my behavior, not laws or rules.”
