It's a Rule So It's Right . . . Right?
# The Question
Why do we set rules in place? Maybe no one knows. But as has been the nature of human mind to be inquisitive, we are curious about that. If someone tells us to return home by 6 pm in the evening, we would become curious. Why? Is it because the adult person here is making decisions? Who made the rule that older meant smarter and henceforth can understand the feelings and emotions of all humans of any age? We don’t know. But a rule’s a rule, so it must be right, right? Let’s dwell further on this issue.
# A Real Example
So, moving on to the scenario of real life, at this particular time in society, any 6-8 year-old child would become grouchy and grumpy when the someone makes them understand a rule that is in fact pretty much common sense. C’mon, we would be angry too. You can’t deny that.
So, after this naturally, you might want to come forward with a new set of rules but that definitely doesn’t mean either they make sense or you actually have the appropriate sense to make them. But regardless and irrespective of that, that’s actually how our “modern” world works every day. Why not think unconventionally or revolutionarily? Why do we really bother if someone tells us ‘You must do it as others are doing in the traditional old school methods.’??
# Breaking the Rule
There are so many rules and regulations and rituals that you follow on a day-to-day basis, now think about each rule or regulation clearly, and make sure you continue with rules that make some sense or help benefit you or the society around you, do not follow regulations that have no meaning and are just been followed by everyone because someone told you” Well it’s a “rule” “.
Moreover, since I’m writing on this topic, I thought to break the rule which would serve fair to the topic. So, I did not stay trapped in any arbitrary rule of 100-150 words but broke it to write something meaningful yet really important in this modern-day avant-garde world.
