You're just making this up as you go along, aren't you? Of course, as I said before, "Natural Law" tends to mean whatever someone wants it to mean. But I would argue that that requirement is why societies and governments are formed, and we surrender (or "balance") our absolute natural rights for the benefits derived from that man-made balance. That balance is not part of the natural law, but it's compromise by men to lead in order to lead less nasty, less brutish, less short lives.
