People commonly refer to a good and docile person as "one who can live without laws." According to a western proverb, "good lawyers make bad neighbors." Thus it seems that the ordinary person does not view "law" as only a good thing.
Society, however, must carry on community life, and therefore needs standards and rules; in fact, laws have become indispensable in solving the disputes and quarrels that arise among different social constituents.
For this reason we have created various forms of laws to sustain the social base. Since we live in a "law-abiding society," we look to the law for final judgment in cases of arguments and conflicts. The solution of a dispute by law is thus a more positive attempt to settle a problem when compromise, arbitration or agreement has not produced results.
