NATURAL LAW
(NOT JUST MAN-MADE LAW)

Main thing ESSENTIAL for me in life is:

...people have inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, nature, or reason."

SIDE-NOTE Nature itself could be protected by Man in a similar way, which I think South American countries like Ecuador or Brazil or Peru have enacted or wanted to... etc...
So we can protect nature rather than just buy and sell it...

EXTRA READING IF YOU WANT:

Pasted from Wikipedia:

Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a system of law based on a close observation of human nature, and based on values intrinsic to human nature that can be deduced and applied independently of positive law (the express enacted laws of a state or society).

According to natural law theory (called jusnaturalism), all people have inherent rights, conferred not by act of legislation but by "God, nature, or reason."

Natural law theory can also refer to "theories of ethics, theories of politics, theories of civil law, and theories of religious morality."
