Cui peccare licet peccat minus - OVID (He who is allowed to sin, sins less)

The idea that you put forth about the two sides of the mind is founded. I would argue, though, that the problem does not occur because of the laws. Rather, laws are an effect of such a thought proccess.

Your model realises the nature of a human to begin creating opposites the second it is born. If something is X, then everything else is not X. Much of this is based on pain and pleasure. Pain and pleasure then become a basis to evaluate what is good and bad.

But I would argue that there truly is a definite good and evil. If it is relative, then it doesn't exist and chaos is the only law. A good rule of thumb is the negative of the golden rule: "Do not unto others as you would not have them do unto you." Following this logic, there are many definite good and evil pairs that have validity in all cultures.

Even in issues of relativity, there is always a core reason behind people's actions, and this usually is applicable to the golden rule.
