You're sort of correct. It only works if everyone in the society is more or less on the same page. Laws prohibiting murder don't stop all murder, but they stop many people who would otherwise love to commit murder because they fear the consequences. If they really don't care, then we're screwed.

If hopelessness has made a home in your heart, it cannot be dislodged easily or all at once. Chip away at it with small victories, moments of hope and defiance. It is not easy and it will take time and effort, but strive to make it an uncomfortable home, a place where despair is no longer welcome.
