Secular testimony that rules are good

Dan Wallach of the US Defense agency DARPA said in this article:

“Rust forces the programmer to get things right,” Wallach said in a statement. “It can feel constraining to deal with all the rules it forces, but when you acclimate to them, the rules give you freedom. They’re like guardrails; once you realize they’re there to protect you, you’ll become free to focus on more important things.”

This is exactly a perfect analogy of the moral law of God. It’s not rules to constrain us, but a safety net to protect us.
