Law is a deep and complex concept that many people struggle
to comprehend. This lack of understanding can lead some down a path of
criminality, trapped in a cycle of wrongdoing they cannot escape. While I
have a basic understanding of the law, it was not until I watched a comedy
skit titled "Going Home" that I truly grasped the essence of what the law
represents.
The skit showed me that when a criminal reforms themselves after committing
a crime, they crave the warmth of family. Therefore, when we encounter
reformed criminals, we should not reject them as this may add immense
pressure on them. One character, Zhang Dongfang, was a case of "one misstep
leading to eternal regret." Listening to his confession, I felt sorry for
the path he took. Some people commit crimes due to a lack of legal knowledge
or due to their upbringing, where they were spoiled and did not listen to
their parents or teachers.
As students, we are prone to making mistakes in our daily lives. "To err is
human," but what matters is that we rectify our mistakes promptly. Nowadays,
many families have only one child, and their parents may pamper them,
leading to some becoming selfish, lazy, and focusing solely on themselves,
which I believe is a precursor to committing crimes. Some students may
become addicted to electronic games, and after spending hundreds of dollars
on them, they may resort to stealing and even kidnapping, ultimately leading
them down the path of criminality, from which there is no turning back.
The law is sacred and impartial, and nobody is above it. In ancient times,
Han Fei advocated "rule by law," and after the founding of the People's
Republic of China, the Constitution was enacted. As students, we must
understand and abide by the law and not follow in the footsteps of
criminals. We cannot let the saying "steal needles when young, steal gold
when old" become a reality.
The law is as crucial as national defense, and as China's laws continue to
improve, those who cling to the idea of luck will eventually be caught in
the law's net. However, there is still time for those who have lost their
way to turn back. When you realize you have gone astray, it is never too
late to change.
Dear classmates, the law is impartial, and we must keep this in mind. I want
to say to those who have lost their way, "The law is vast, but turning back
is still possible." I sincerely hope that people around the world will
understand and respect the law, and that every face will radiate with a
bright smile. |
