The harsh truth about humans is, we can't be trusted. Our interpretations and judgment are simply unreliable. Everybody believes something different, so, left to our own biases, we interpret absolute truth in just the right way so that it backs us up in our beliefs.
And that is precisely why individual interpretation of law results in argument and chaotic relativism; and, if law becomes relative, what purpose does it serve? Is not the very nature of law absolute? For all people? If it is relative to the individual, why should it even exist? What purpose does it serve?
If individuals are free to interpret law however they please, how can society be expected to come to a consensus on what a certain law even means? And if we can't come to a consensus on what it means, it becomes relative to the individual's desires, thus cancelling itself out. In other words, it loses its power; its effectiveness, to human interpretation. We cannot be trusted to interpret the law. By its very nature, it is absolute, and our interpretation of it makes in relative to the individual.
