its not so much i believe we are cogs in the wheel but to maintain an orderly society some personal rights must be put aside.

for example if someone were till murder my daughter should it not be my right to seek vengence and justice with my own hand and make the individual suffer the way i see fit? but i give up that right to live in an orderly society and hope that justice will be carried out according to the rules of society.

now or justice system is another debate for another place
