Each
level has its own manners with which its individuals interact, so we find that
the manners practiced in the class of the poor differ from those in the class
of the nobles, and likewise across different classes and levels, and manners
here represent the laws that bind individuals, and these laws are not called
manners unless the commitment to them is from satisfaction and voluntariness.
In sociology, "Jean-Jacques Rousseau" refers to the relationships
between the ruler and his people as the social contract, and this contract is a
dual one where both the ruler and the ruled are bound by it, so the ruler is bound
by his people, and the people are bound by their ruler, and this duality in
constraint is what frees individuals from it; they exit their personal will to
the general will, or in other words, they flow with the source that unifies and
liberates them, and if the commitment to laws exceeds its compulsory aspect to
the voluntary one, then manners are realized as the peak of codification or
adherence to the law to the point of liberation from it. This act was expressed
by "Kant" as goodness in itself, and we express it as voluntary
constraint which represents the highest stages of law, where you are not
obligated by it, but rather do it out of voluntariness and satisfaction and as
the truth and logic that ought to be. Living without law is itself living
without meaning, and this is the essence of baseness.
