One knowledge gap in us is that "you don't know what you don't know". If you don't know eg "ignorance of the law is no defence" in crimes, you might ignore the law mistakenly believing you should have an excuse because of your ignorance of it. But if "you know what you don't know" eg ignorance of the law, how can you comply with it?
We live and let live, and the law regulates human and institutional behaviours. A rule of thumb is that: "Be honest and refrain from violence", as the public disapproves dishonesty and violence, and any person inflicting harm on others should be punished, while those suffering from the harm should have a redress.
Honesty, civility, cooperation and respect for each other are also the corner stones of professionalism. Take legal practice as an example, it should be a calling more than a business. Having played my legal role in public service between 1985 and 2015, I continue to take my duty and obligation to the community seriously in my private practice.
If I prosecute again, I would perform my duties fairly, consistently and expeditiously, and respect and protect human dignity and uphold human rights. I would protect the public interest, act with objectivity, take proper account of the position of the suspect and the victim, and pay attention to all relevant circumstances. And if the evidence shows the charge to be unfounded, I would make every effort to stay the proceedings!
