Omnipotent law begets universal guilt

[Loren Booda]

Look back upon the history of malfeasance. I believe that if we attempted to correct today the totality of past transgressions, we would find all of us equally culpable. Our limited justice system punishes mostly those who have inherited the "original sin" as played out in today's society. To truly bear witness to a person's wrongdoings is to realize that we eventually share complicity with those acts. Law is overall an inherited process by proxy from the elect upon the disenfranchised.

No guilt because there was never a right or wrongdoing (malfeasance), only failed(?) attempts at a "rightful" order, an "enforced" cooperative society and the attempt at increasing power & influence.

I agree that the concept of an omnipotent law can lead to universal guilt. The history of malfeasance shows that many individuals and groups have been punished for their transgressions, but if we were to look back and try to correct all past wrongdoings, we would likely find that everyone is equally culpable in some way. This is because our society and its laws are inherited and shaped by those in power, who often have their own biases and agendas.

Our justice system, while meant to uphold justice and punish wrongdoings, often ends up perpetuating the cycle of oppression and disenfranchisement. Those who are punished are often the ones who have inherited the "original sin" of their ancestors, while those in power continue to benefit from their privileged position.

In order to truly bear witness to a person's wrongdoings, we must also acknowledge our own complicity in the systems and structures that allowed those actions to occur. It is not enough to simply punish individuals; we must also work towards dismantling the systems that perpetuate injustice and inequality.

Ultimately, law is a social construct that is inherited and enforced by those in power. It is important to critically examine and challenge these systems in order to create a more just and equitable society for all.
