Quote by Albert Camus

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. L

Summary

This quote suggests that retaliation is a natural instinctive response inherent in human nature, while law follows its own set of rules separate from nature. It implies that the concept of retaliation does not align with the principles and standards that govern the legal system. Nature-driven instincts of revenge and retribution cannot be applied as valid reasoning for legal actions, emphasizing the fundamental difference between the two domains. Law is designed to transcend natural inclinations and provide a fair and objective framework for resolving conflicts and maintaining societal order.
