Summary

This quote suggests that laws serve as a valuable guide to understanding both the consequences of our actions and the rights we have as individuals. By providing clear guidelines and consequences for transgressions, laws educate us about the distinction between causing harm and being victimized. They help us to recognize the potential for injury, both in terms of inflicting harm upon others and facing it ourselves. Ultimately, laws promote a greater awareness of our responsibilities and rights within a society.
