Do we laugh at caricatures of evil because we don't believe anyone could really be that bad, or because we don't want anyone to see the evil we recognize in ourselves?

Deuteronomy 21:15-17
"If a man have two wives…" The text doesn't say that the man is an adulterer or that he must put one of his wives away. In fact, this commandment would be nonsensical if God had completely forbidden polygyny. Marrying two women might be foolish in almost every circumstance, but it's not a sin or else the following rules about the children of forbidden unions would make this law completely unnecessary.
Favoritism breeds jealousy and bitterness, which become the seeds of even greater destruction. To a certain extent, favoritism is inevitable. Parents have favorite children, children have favorite parents, and a polygynous man is almost certain to have a favorite wife. It's just human nature. That in itself wouldn't be a serious problem except it usually becomes the basis of sin, neglect, or abuse. The firstborn son of a free wife must be considered the firstborn of his father, regardless of how the man feels about that son's mother.
We are prone to poor decisions based on emotion rather than reason and spiritual insight. Torah moderates our weaknesses. If we follow God's laws no matter how we might feel, we are very unlikely to go wrong.
Does anyone else feel like since committing to keep Torah, Yah has opened up a Pandora's box of sorts where you can't fully grasp one concept before having 3-4 more presented? I feel like I'm constantly adapting a new part of Torah to my life but, for every one thing I take on with understanding, there are a handful more waiting in the wings, being presented to me regularly, through various different methods. It's very exciting, like having a stack of gifts for you to unwrap but, each one having deeper meaning than the one before.
Many in religion say that "Christ is the end (termination or abolishment) of the Law." Is that true? Has Messiah abolished the Torah? If not Messiah, has Sha'ul (Paul)? In this two part video series, G. Steven Simons addresses this question and the place of the Torah in the New Covenant. He clearly reveals from Scripture that both Yeshua and Sha'ul (Paul) taught right-standing through belief and right-living through obedience. https://youtube.com/c/TriumphInTruthMedia
