I am confident and believe you all know, the law is the commander in this life, thus the law must be above all else, and because of that, all issues must be resolved under the provisions of applicable law.
But in reality, news from all over the world preach the many events that undermine the rule of law. Many news which preach events concerning the practice of discrimination law. In crimes involving minorities, the law is enforced strictly, but the rule of law not apply for they who powerful. If their case processed, the law can be very mild even their acquitted or released from any legal action

I don't consider law to be some supreme authority. It is the legislature that makes and amends laws. We, the public choose our representatives to legislature. So in a way, we, the citizens make the laws. But this is only in theory since most of us are having democratic systems in our countries. Election followed by another election which is followed by another election and the end result is often far from what we expected. There are corrupted people with myopic vision, who care less about countries, values, people. They legislature is shaped by rule of ballot. Even the laws have ended up in being a mere tool in the hands of those people. The only solution to this problem is awareness. If we, the citizens are aware and conscious about our rights, if we choose to be upright and start appreciating honesty and justice, the law will find its lost meaning.

Dear friend,
I feel law if much humane and shows justice, those patriotism of the people and their attitude to law would be better. Moreover it would be the citizens and people of a nation is considered the importance. A ruler who can give justice and secure life to his people is well accepted.
