Desire                         Morality

God’s Origin (Morality): Lawmakers and police are moral shepherds of our communities, i.e. the ones we delegate to perform our desire to tell other people what to do. It seems many or perhaps all of us want to compel other people in assorted and sundry ways. It seems to come with and perhaps is necessary for community.

I think I see it in mammals, birds, maybe fish, and even a rattlesnake clutch. No doubt humans have, to use a masculine metaphor, honed this talent to the sharpest edge and, a feminine metaphor, carried it into realms of deepest meaning, like morality and mortality.
