Do you have any interest in how we structure our societal laws and standards? Or do you prefer the laissez fairy approach to morality?

Edit: meant to say laissez-faire but I prefer fairy

Not really, in term of morality, I'm more inline to this idea https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_egoism

Are you afraid of having your rights violated? How can you hold this position in a society?

Not really, that's just how it is.

Someone (or a group of person) fought and convinced other that its in their best interests to make a particular law. For example a law against murder, some people think that its in their best interest to punish people for murder, some other don't.

Regardless what the "true" morality is regarding murder, the one who fight and and can either successfully force or convince other to follow, get to decide what the law is.
