Related to chapter 10 Werner, the FBI agent seeking for justice in the World Wide World, not with much success, Because of the lack of punishments by different countries, and the companies that are been attack has not much trust in the justice of the world. Alma comes to my mind when he is teaching his son Corianton about justice in Alma chapter 42. He explains:
"Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal as the life of the soul should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul. Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? How could he sin if there was no law? How could there be a law save there was a punishment? Now, there was a punishment affixed, and a just law given, which brought remorse of conscience unto man? Now, if there was no law given—if a man murdered he should die—would he be afraid he would die if he should murder. And also, if there was no law given against sin men would not be afraid to sin. And if there was no law given, if men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature? But there is a law given, and a
punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God… and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judge according to their works, according to the law and justice. If he has desired to do evil and has not repented in his days, behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God."
Therefore, we can see that without punishment, there is no law, without law, there is no justice, and without justice, God would cease to be God. At the same time each government needs to apply the punishments on all those that brake others laws. That way they can help Werner in this fight against those that are not afraid to break any laws. By doing these, the companies would have more trust in the justice of the world and would be less crime, because they would be afraid of the punishment that would come from breaking the law. In addition, like Alma said in the last verse: those that desire evil, evil will be done unto them. So even when there may be not law on the land, there is a higher law, that they will be punish for doing evil things.
