He likens law to a stepmother and virtue to a birth mother .
He argues that legalism and adherence to principles (법치주의, 원칙주의) lead to societal ruin .
He advocates for “philanthropic principles” (박애주의) which include love and compassion .
He explains that a birth mother’s scolding contains love, while a stepmother’s, even if identical, can be destructive due to hidden malice .
