Summary

This quote suggests that people only truly experience the impact of laws when they find themselves facing a situation where their actions or choices are in conflict with those laws. In everyday life, individuals often comply with laws without consciously realizing or acknowledging their existence. However, when someone violates or inadvertently breaks a law, they become acutely aware of its existence and the consequences that may follow. Essentially, the quote highlights that laws primarily affect individuals when they are personally involved in a situation that challenges or contradicts those laws.
