About This Quote

We can never be sure of the security or reliability of any system of law and governance. And, if we are not certain about the reliability of these systems, perhaps our friendship would be shallower. When you know that there is a chance that your friend may do something that you disagree with, then the depth of your friendship becomes more uncertain. If we cannot rely on the laws and institutions of our governments to ensure our safety, then our friendliness will be shallower. How deep are your friendships when they rest on the fact that your friend may do something illegal?
