ElusiveButterfly My friends say I have the patience of a saint. They wish they had the same quality. We always wish we could look different, act different or have more money, etc. We need to be more accepting of who we are and love ourselves.

Do we really need Laws?

Ashida @Ashida (1370) • United States 16 Jan 07

This idea sprang up from another discussion I had, but it intrigued me enough to ask. Are laws really necessary for a society? or would people kind of form their own set of rules. i would say that laws don't seem to stop too...
