RULES
There
are all kinds of rules in this world we live in.
Some are for our own protection; some make sense and others that
have no value whatsoever. There
are rules that are found in every sport or game we play.
There are rules that govern the actions of the people of
countries.
Rules for religion, actually rules for most everything we do or
are associated with in our lives. Just
because it is a rule does not necessarily mean it was a well thought out
regulation or that it makes any sense.
There
is a fine line between following a rule and using common sense when a
rule does not fit a situation.
It has been one of those issues in my life where I become the
rebel and lawbreaker of rules that are not based in an intelligent
format.
I
pull out my soapbox and hail the many bureaucratic rules that are
imposed and followed by what appears to be robot acceptance of those
employed by these agencies.
I am not able to absorb the fact that people that should be able
to make decisions on their own can tolerate for the sake of a pay cheque
the obviously ridiculous policies sometimes set out. In
trying to guide my family I have always told them to think things
through before taking action.
Make good judgments and try to be fair and honest in their
decisions but as long as I live I can not and will not accept rules that
try to force everyone into the same situation when each of us are so
different.
There are times to break rules and times to ignore them when they
in affect do more harm then good. This
is a person choice and we all have these decisions to make I only
caution you to be open to the need to sometimes challenge the injustice
of certain rules or regulations.
