Essential Natural Law: What is Natural Law?

[cketchum]

It is interesting to note the philosophical shift in both the US and Canada to define law and ethics as government-defined rather than things set forth by natural law.

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment and the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

I love the Golden Rule but in my personal experience this way of behaving can fail to give you proper understanding in certain situations and may cause unintentional damage to personal relationships. Basically, the problem I ran into was a result of the fact that I don't care if people make fun of me or insult me. I'm very confident and I like to poke fun at myself and my friends. The problem is some people are very sensitive and self conscious so if I treat people with these characters the same as I treat myself, they may get offended or angry at me. So I've modified the golden rule to accommodate my persona. What this means is: I treat people as *they* want to be treated. This lifestyle has served me well.

I love the display of natural law and how strongly it goes against the grain of western law

[unicron]

treating others as one would want for themselves. is a wide array, because the majority of people dont even treat themselves good, so how would we expect them to treat others in a good way rather how they like to be treated.

From what I've heard, natural law is about generating the reality you want, whether it's moral or not

It would have been helpful if the names of Thomas Aquinas and Francisco Suarez were mentioned. Give credit were credit is due.

Private property? One particular cultural orientation pushing it does not make it generalized through time and space.

Admittedly, I have not watched The Grammy's in many years. But I had given up Legacy TV years ago. If I had it, I would have watched it.

It is true that we are witnessing a de-synchronization of faith in the Seven Virtues around the world. This was typically recognized as Universal Natural Law, which seemed to be the precipice of human morality up until the 1960's. Then some really messed up philosophies started to take over, typically 'drug induced realities', acting as if they could just make shit up and treat it as if it was on the same level of Universal Natural Law.

This peaceful exchange of respect between Miley and Mariah was cordial and serene. I suspect we are going to see a Great Awakening soon. At least that is my prayers for humanity. Mary, Mother of God, pray for our hearts to be warmed of God's Graces of the Holy Spirit, ❤

Tesla once said, "If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world." Replace hatred with chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility and light up the world for our Lord. This is what authentic free energy is all about.

"If your chastity could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your temperance could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your charity could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your diligence could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your patience could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your kindness could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

"If your humility could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world."

mark passio explains it more succinctly

I wish that all humans had reason and free will. I would argue that most people are irrational pawns who do and think what they are told. 12 years of indoctrination have crippled their free will much like breaking a horse.

*The **#NonAggressionPrinciple* is even more fundamental to natural law than the Golden Rule. It's the foundation the Golden Rule is built on, especially

Natural law is "logic" for religious people.

What a misleading info. Please research outside the box.

secular versus God; ALL Western Civilizations hang on the basis of Old Testament foundations clearly given in Genesis, Deuteronomy, Exodus, Psalms and Proverbs, among others. USA law is directly linked to the above and English Common Law, Roman, Greek and Jewish fundamental concepts of life, Patriarchy, Nuclear family, to right to own and use property and the right to freely exchange time for money (the basis of all contract law).
