“I am a servant of the law Thus I must serve the law”
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they are a servant of the law, it means they have chosen to dedicate themselves to following and enforcing the rules and principles that make up the law. Because of this commitment, they must always act according to those rules, no matter what their personal feelings might be. Imagine a police officer who has sworn to uphold the law. Even if they see a friend breaking the law, they have to take action because they have a duty to serve the law fairly and without favoritism. It’s like agreeing to the rules of a game; even if the rules sometimes seem unfair or inconvenient, you stick to them because you agreed to play by those rules. This teaches us the importance of commitment and consistency in our actions and decisions, ensuring fairness and justice for everyone.
