Question

Why the rules and pulishment keep people good?

Answer 1

not really sure

Answer 2

Rules and punishments do not "keep people good".

Statistics show that crime is more prevalent when a criminal believes that he will be caught - not due to the severity of the punishment.

Rules provide guidelines for behavior that is acceptable to a community, but true goodness comes from an inner moral compass - not from rules imposed by outsiders.

Answer 3

there is no "good" or "bad". morality is relative. the universe is a giant, interconnected entity that experiences itself subjectivly. shop wal-mart
