“Mverani malamulo.” Ichi ndi chiphunzitso champhamvu, nthawi zambiri champhamvu chokwanira kuthana ndi malingaliro ozama a chabwino ndi cholakwika, ngakhale kupitilira muyeso wachibadwa wopulumuka. Timaphunzira molawirira kwambiri (siziri m'mitundu yathu) kuti tiyenera kutsatira “lamulo la dziko.”

...

Zachidziwikire kuti si malamulo onse omwe amalakwika. Wina ayenera kukhala ndi malingaliro ovuta pankhani yokhudza kumvera lamulo.

Kumvera malamulo akamakutumiza kunkhondo kumawoneka kolakwika. Kumvera lamulo loletsa kupha munthu kumawoneka ngati kolondola. Kuti mumvere kwenikweni lamuloli, muyenera kukana kumvera lamulo lomwe limakutumizani kunkhondo.

Koma malingaliro apamwamba samasiya malo opangira anzeru ndi amisala pankhani yokhudza kumvera lamalamulo. Ndi yokhazikika komanso mtheradi. Ndiwo lamulo losasunthika la boma lililonse, ngakhale a Fascist, achikominisi, kapena a capital capital.

A Gertrude Scholtz-Klink, wamkulu wa Women Bureau motsogozana ndi Hitler, adalongosolera wofunsa mafunso pambuyo pa nkhondo pambuyo pa nkhondo yachiyuda ya Nazi, "Tinkatsatira lamulo nthawi zonse. Kodi sizomwe mumachita ku America? Ngakhale simukugwirizana ndi malamulo panokha, mumachimvera. Akapanda kutero moyo ukakhala chipwirikiti. "

Moyo ungasokonekere. ” Ngati tingalole kusamvera malamulo tidzakhala ndi vuto. Malingaliro amenewo amapangidwira m'chiwerengero cha dziko lililonse. Mawu ovomerezeka ndi "lamulo ndi dongosolo." Ndi mawu omwe amatumiza apolisi ndi asirikali kuti akawononge ziwonetsero kulikonse, kaya ku Moscow kapena ku Chicago. Inali kumbuyo kwa kuphedwa kwa ophunzira anayi ku Kent State University mu 1970 ndi National Guardsmen. Ndi chifukwa chomwe akuluakulu a China adapereka mchaka cha 1989 pomwe adapha mazana a ophunzira aku Beijing.

Ndi mawu omwe akukopa nzika zambiri, omwe pokhapokha ngati iwowo ali ndi chidandaulo champhamvu motsutsana ndi ulamuliro, akuwopa chisokonezo. Mu 1960s, wophunzira ku Harvard Law School adalankhula ndi makolo ndi alumni motere:

Misewu ya dziko lathu ili chipwirikiti. Mayunivesite ali ndi ophunzira opanduka komanso achiwawa. Achikomyunizimu akufuna kuwononga dziko lathu. Russia ikutiwopseza ndi mphamvu zake. Ndipo republic ili pachiwopsezo. Inde! zoopsa kuchokera mkati ndi kunja. Tikufuna malamulo ndi dongosolo! Popanda malamulo ndi dongosolo dziko lathu silingakhale ndi moyo.

Kunali chisangalalo kwanthawi yayitali. Atawomba m'manja, wophunzirayo anauza omvera ake kuti: "Mawu awa analankhulidwa mu 1932 ndi Adolph Hitler."

Zachidziwikire, mtendere, kukhazikika, komanso dongosolo ndizabwino. Chipwirikiti ndi chiwawa siziri. Koma kukhazikika ndi dongosolo sizokhazo zofunikira za moyo wamakhalidwe. Palinso chilungamo, kutanthauza kuchitiridwa mwachilungamo kwa anthu onse, ufulu wofanana wa anthu onse ku ufulu ndi kutukuka. Kumvera lamulo kotheratu kumatha kubweretsa dongosolo kwakanthawi, koma sikungabweretse chilungamo. Ndipo zikapanda kutero, iwo amene amachitiridwa zosayenera angatsutse, atha kupanduka, zitha kuyambitsa chisokonezo, monga momwe osinthira aku America adachita m'zaka za zana la chisanu ndi chisanu ndi chitatu, monga momwe antislavery adachitira m'zaka za zana la khumi ndi chisanu ndi chinayi, monga ophunzira aku China adachita m'zaka za zana lino, komanso ngati anthu ogwira ntchito zomwe zikuchitika zikuchitika mdziko lililonse, kuzaka mazana ambiri.
