A Society Without A Moral Ceiling
When higher law disappears, power does not disappear. It becomes the law.
A society can have offices, courts, policies, files, and official language, and still become unjust.
The question is not whether rules exist.
The question is whether power is answerable to something higher than itself.
A society without a moral ceiling eventually becomes a jungle with paperwork.
The weak discover the truth first.
The poor person knows whether justice is real. The employee without protection knows whether dignity is real. The student without influence knows whether merit is real. The ordinary citizen outside an office knows whether the system serves people or only manages them.
Power needs a limit
Without higher law, truth becomes what the strong can enforce. Rights become what the system feels like granting. Law becomes paperwork around force.
The modern jungle may wear a suit. It may speak politely. It may issue a notice. It may stamp documents.
But if justice bends before influence, the jungle has not ended.
It has only become organized.
Civilization is proven when power bows before justice.
