    Of course as always common sense.

    By a general rule the law must adapt to the equity, wich is a type derivated from morality, but the law itself, again by a general rule, doesn't and shouldn't contain measures of good or bad, the idea of justice is very far from positive law. Common sense doesn't serves in all cases Quietus, here is one of them, moral and law are separated.
    Which came first, your Hunger or your Stomach? In other words, are you hungry because you have a stomach or you have a stomach because you are hungry?
    Errr...The hunger comes from the metabolism in your cells wich sends signals to your brain, not from your stomach. In any case I don't see your point here. Where's the illusion?
    Your body creates a chemical illusion of hunger that makes you eat. What you eat isn't your choice either.
    Huh? Of course not I can eat and egg or a piece of meat. Clearify.
    If I tell you I have a lump of white substance in front of me, would you eat it? You won't decide to consume or avoid it until you know what it is because it wasn't never your choice after all.
    What was never my choice, eat the lump or the lump existence...
    The illusion part is where you look at the white substance and determine whether you can eat it and not die and THINK, you're actually doing all the picking.
    Illusion? It's all certain, I decided to eat or I decided not to eat it, ultimatelly you'll see it in my actions.

    Phylosophy is all about twisting things, and modifying the very axiological points of human thinking.
