Because I said so” is not the law!

Posted on

In many households, parents have been known to utter the phrase “Because I said so” when met with questions from their curious children. While it might seem like a convenient way to end a debate or avoid providing a detailed explanation, it’s important to recognize that this phrase should not be equated with the law.

In a democratic society, the law is based on principles of justice, fairness, and accountability. It is created through a legislative process that involves elected representatives who debate and vote on proposed laws. These laws are designed to protect individual rights and promote the common good.

On the other hand, “Because I said so” represents an arbitrary exercise of authority, often without justification or transparency. While parents certainly have the responsibility to make decisions in the best interest of their children, relying solely on parental authority without explanation can hinder a child’s understanding of the reasoning behind rules.
