Summary

This quote suggests that human laws are essentially imitations or reflections of the objective laws that govern the world. It implies that external laws, which can refer to principles, rules, or patterns observed in nature or society, serve as a foundation or inspiration for the creation of human laws. However, the quote also acknowledges that human laws are flawed or incomplete representations of these external laws. It implies that, while we may attempt to align our laws with those we perceive externally, our human limitations prevent us from achieving perfect replication.
