LAW

Law - a rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society.

Drove to work this morning on a thruway where the speed limit is 65mph but the average flow of traffic is between 75 and 80mph. As I began to pick up speed, I noticed a State Trooper doing about 75mph in the passing lane. I immediately shifted into the middle lane and cruised at a cool 70mph. Cars behind me were gaining speed and were pretty aggressive (because they didn't know what's ahead) so I shifted again, into the right/slow lane. 

It's was almost comical to watch how those speed hungry cars zoomed past me only to quickly pump their brakes once they understood what the hold up was. 

The State Trooper stayed in the passing lane and maintained his speed at 75mph for the next three exist! As if to say "I dare one of you to pass me!" The level of respect, if you want to call it that, was pretty apparent and spoke loud and clear (to me.) Not in the (obvious) sense that rules are followed to avoid problems. No, what I got from that was, we as a "civilized" society need to be policed because we can not be trusted to do the right thing. And for that reason, rules and regulations are put it place for all to obey however because of ignorance, arrogance and fear (a disastrous combination) there are those that get by because of their race, wealth, and/or "power", etc. The ironic thing though is as soon as no one is watching, those rules and regulations go out the window all the while praying you don't  get caught.

Integrity is yours to claim when you do the right thing period, whether you're being watched or not. As a matter of fact, integrity is doing the right thing particularly when you're not being watched. 

Laws are put in place because people are not to be trusted but God is. Remember who you are and you will remember who He is. Because you belong to Him and He is in control at all times, do the right thing because nothing else matters.
