The supposition that all superstitions enjoy a commonality that compels all men to follow its proposed “Golden Rules”, while on its face very appealing, an in depth look finds otherwise. From a historical perspective and usually when subjected to any kind of duress, these golden rules are immediately tossed in pursuit of self-interests and the disadvantages thereby imposed on those less likely to be able to vigorously defend their ground or position. In recent times men have sought to make rules and have proclaimed them as laws that are forged through consensus and not through some mythical or mystical ordination.
Laws that serve everyone equally are continually questioned and refined to meet the ever-increasing scrutiny and demands of all that they serve. Laws that are cast in stone and proclaimed as inviolate are a violation of the principles that simply state that laws need to be continually evaluated to assure that these laws do indeed continue to meet our evolving humanity and cultural quest to improve our understanding of one another.
