Laws are common sense

Societies need order tu function properly to achieve the common good we all are searching in our daily lives. We all want to be happy, but there are some rules that we realize in our daily life: respect, liberty to express ideas, meeting in places and have education, among other things that we call: Human rights.

After WWI and WWII humankind lost this vision after the death of thousand of people all over the world, and we all want one thing: prosperity to be happy. Countries united to this reminder of what makes a man and decided to preserve it from harm, from our own ambition and selfishness.

The UN made history by being the international organism in charge of the task of reminding us who we are and what we can’t do to others, because we are all human. But what happens when money, politics and self interests are added? Those decisions seem a high card to play to get what we want and what is good for everyone. We’ve corrupted the system with our own affairs affecting others just to have our own interests guarded.

Laws are founded by common sense in humanity; we don’t need a law to make us see, but to help us guarantee what is ours and protect it. Even kids can understand them, not because they are imposed but because it is natural to find them with a little bit of reason: common sense.

Nowadays we have children fighting for their right to have a peaceful education without guns, and they are marching against a law that obliges education but with violence, why? because holding a gun is not for protection but it incites violence in others. The fact that we need guns to be protected is the same thought to hurt someone.
