First, the role of law is not sanctions, but deterrence. As we all know, our country's current society is relatively stable and harmonious, largely because we have made great progress in governing the country according to law. From top to bottom, both those in power and ordinary people can understand the usage of the law. Many times, the unstable factors in society gradually tend to be stable under the deterrent effect of law.
Social governance is a process of combining the rule of man with the rule of law, and the rule of law is the bottom. When a society continues to exist and the rule of man cannot be correctly implemented, laws are needed to safeguard justice and fairness. Thousands of years ago, with the support of Shang Yang's political reform and legal management norms, Qin was able to unify China, the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the country was stronger than other places.
Therefore, even if the present society is very stable, we can't cancel the crime of stirring up trouble. After all, sometimes the deterrent power of laws is stronger than sanctions.
Second, picking fights is often the beginning of a crime. As the saying goes, impulse is the devil. Once people are emotional, they will do something out of line and even make irreparable mistakes. In daily life, picking fights is often the beginning of bloody conflicts.
One of my personal experiences was that at a dinner table, a man drank too much and began to talk nonsense, constantly provoking "passers-by" to gain a sense of existence and satisfaction. In view of this situation, even if it does not cause substantial harm to passers-by, it has already constituted the crime of provoking trouble. At this time, the law can prevent the other party from escalating the situation and warn the other party to stop in time. If there is no such charge, the troublemakers will only be more unscrupulous until serious consequences are caused.
Therefore, in daily life, the crime of stirring up trouble can often avoid further escalation of contradictions in life, which is of great benefit to the more harmonious operation of society.
