I'm interpreting (the first part of) your post as "humans cant do the right thing so we need laws to force them to do it". I know the right thing for me. I don

  "I don't need that law telling me the right thing for me" probably wouldn't go over that well in court but if you want to try it then go for it. The nice thing about laws is that they aren't asking for your permission. They aren't a suggestion, they are telling you things you can't do. If you don't like them you are free to attempt to change the laws but until you do that it's literally "obey or else."

  That's not where I was going with this and I'll respectfully disagree with your statement because in a society, there has to be a balance between conflicting interests. If what is good for me will cause harm to you, societies generally will want to limit the extent of the harm, so that some socially acceptable balance exists. It's not always all that well balanced or well implemented, but it tends to be adequate on very catastrophic things. But again, all human systems are flawed in different ways and it's extremely important to recognize those limitation and consequences, and not just let systems grind people up.
