Law is not evil; it is the minimum standard, needed for those who have not accepted grace. But can you make a law that i must give my shirt to someone who is stealing my coat? There is a law against someone stealing my coat already, see; that i, under grace, do not adhere to. Am i breaking the law, giving him my shirt? If i insist on applying the law to him who has stolen my coat, am i still under grace?
so then "who is 'we?'" should be considered here; we are obviously talking about two different groups of people imo, but they have somehow been made equal now, see. The Lord of the Flies can be perceived as having happened from lack of laws, or it can be seen as the failure of the law, depending upon how you...what "we" you put yourself in, see. The Lord of the Flies made up all kindsa rules, if i remember right. The whole point of the book might be characterized as people who did not understand grace, or adolescent children devolving into power grabs. A great perspective on the world, iow.
