Which is greater and why? Or does circumstances dictate?

hmmmm...

I think I see where this is going....

Craig you must truly be bored!!

The "Spirit of the Law" is what all of us only hope it to be but the "Letter of the Law" has already been voted in by the majority which I suppose makes it Greater.

Now what the hell is my prize? LOL

Spirit and yes, circumstances have a lot to do with that.

*Sniffs.

After reading about boredom and thinking. Such things are new to me as the work consumes me.

"I was hoping we could agree to agree to disagree rather than appear to disagree or to appear that we were once appearing not to agree and or agree to disagree."

I also wish that man vs. man be equated with man vs man and not the other way around.

Letter of the law or Spirit of the Law? Or the ends of the spectrum's?

Loial's more than its worth.

Spirit.  Letter is purely an interpretation anyway.  If it were black and white, there wouldn't be sentencing guidelines or ranges of penalties, it would be penalty X for crime Y, not penalty A through B for crime C.

And I believe that holds for non-criminal activities, too.

Problem is, the general public is too stupid for the spirit of the law to work well (i.e. speed limits are there for your safety, but they are reduced to being black and white [were you speeding or weren't you] because people are incapable of driving safely without them).

I a prefer a world of black and white decisions. It makes matters so much easier to judge.

I am a compassionate, forgiving person and often find excuses acceptable. Only a few times in my life have I ever blindly judge someone.

So why don't I just take the easy route and not forgive, but condemn?
