Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Searching For Answers To Some Questions Concerning The Law

By James Murch

The definition of law is not something to easily come by, because a lot of groups of people have varied perception on what law is and what the legal institution should be. This has really made every definition un-sacrosanct and highly subjection. Though un-sacrosanct, we can refer to law as the rules and regulations that societies tide on. The rules and regulations, the agents and agency that ensure the law can also refer to the legal system.

As the world keeps changing, with many people acquiring deep knowledge and understanding of situations around us, many are those who think there is something wrong with the very foundation of law. Some also wonder if it is still important to keep some aspect of the law.

It is now very important to ask certain question that confronts us, Why must the law that protect lives also give acceptance to kill people who have committed crime. Must the law again accept that people take their own lives? Must it necessary restrict grown persons in their marriage life especially as to who to marry?

These are questions which keep knocking on the doors of overseers of the law for answers. But one can appreciate answers to these questions well if they know a little about Jurisprudence. Jurisprudence is simply about the mentality behind law and how is has developed through the generations.

Jurisprudence can be broken into two other headings, Normative and Analytical jurisprudence. Normative jurisprudence does a good work of talking the very structures on which the law survives. That is the things the law regards as right and wrong and why someone should suffer for the things the law regards as wrong.

Considering this, it becomes very difficult to answer some questions, For instance the reason why the law can give a human the permit to take the life of another person. Normative jurisprudence again looks at what the law must be and the logic in giving punishment.

Analytical jurisprudence also takes the burden of looking into the law and the legal system in its entirety. It concentrates on the how the law operates and the different areas the law entails. Analytical jurisprudence is more open and unrestricted in it study, and for that matter it deals with everything about law.

This does not give any look at the logic of the law but rather it focuses on the studying of the layout that has already been put in place.
