* Bonus Episode * S06E17 About Law

This episode is shared from The Tiny Pod on Patreon.Weekly episodes of The Tiny Pod can be found at https://www.patreon.com/c/TheTinyPodThis week on The Tiny Pod Patreon is all About Law, in honour of the courageous Filton 25, particularly those sentenced wrongfully as "terrorists." Throughout history, social justice moved faster than law, and laws were only changed because ordinary people united, and courageously spoke truth to power. Abolitionists were executed for speaking out against slavery, the suffragettes were imprisoned, tortured, force fed and suffered life long injuries, the SS arrested and tortured families sheltering Jewish families, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, all because they broke laws because they believed in a higher law, and in humanity more than legislation.Witnessing more than 3400 ordinary people in Britain being arrested and detained for holding up bits of cardboard reveals that law and justice are not the same thing, and power has not learnt from history. Law and justice are not the same thing. The Law asks what can be enforced, humanity asks what is the most loving thing to do. History is often where injustice is revealed most glaringly.Law can grant a divorce, but it cannot heal a broken heart, and the disparity between legal resolution and emotional resolution is often enormous.When we are internally guided by values, morals, truth and honesty, the need for external laws falls away. Moral law and government law are often directly opposed, but it is in bridging this gap, and in examining our own values, that we can build a world on fairness, and equality, instead of one dominated by power, technicalities, distorted truths and ledgers.See you next week,Miranda x
