Re: Freedom and liberty, rights and law

 I have something interesting story regarding the words, right, and law. This is just my own original idea so please take it with a grain of salt.
The word, right, has three meaning. It means to be correct. The other meaning is to be qualified. And the last one is the opposite of left.
One day, when I saw the famous painting、” Last Judgment" by Michelangelo in the book, it took my breath away.
"Oh..! That's why! Right and Left"
 I understood the painting said, "God let the people who did the right things go to the right place. God left the people who did the wrong things to the left place."
If you look at the painting, Last Judgment, you will get the meaning of my saying.
If you live to do the right things, you will give the right to be free and you are protected by God. But God is always busy to help people all over the world so that human invented "laws" to protect them.
I'm not religious but I thought of this story seriously.
