Fear of Police? or God?

Many a times, we come across people sharing their utopian vision for a better world. Too often, do people say that a better world can be established only after we have an able administration, civic sense, strict norms and so on. Overall, we find people of the opinion that the fear instilled in the citizens regarding the norms, regulations and administration is a must so as to have a better country.
We generally come across the statement that only the fear of police and administration can make this country a better place to live in. Let us throw some light on this fear factor. Talking in general, you do not do anything wrong in public as you fear the police. You do not jump traffic signals as you fear the traffic cop. You do not murder, loot, kidnap as you fear the administration. But does it go the same way for all? Do all the people not do the mentioned things due to the fear? Unfortunately, not. Today, we have by large entered into a world where not many people fear the administration. Even amongst the ones who do, they do not care about it in the absence of the keepers of the law.
In such a condition, does one not get the feel of whom to fear? Lets ask ourselves whom to fear: GOD or Cops and Administration. Surprisingly, one finds the presence of God-fearing people as a positive and optimistic sign of a better world. If one has the love for and fear of God, would he indulge himself in something that is morally wrong? Why not start appealing to a man’s soul, the god that is inside of him than to make him fear the police. A god-fearing person would automatically fear the administration too and infact would not do something that is offendable. Let us start creating a society where people have the fear of god and not administration. Well, some people might be thinking of those who do not fear either. Well, for them, there is always an option to resort to judicial actions. But, our foremost aim should be to let people be God-fearing... let them fear the almighty and not just the mighty.
