There are many rules in life, whether or not we choose to follow them is up to us. Rules are mainly guidelines. You can't always expect everyone to do exactly as you say all of the time...that's completely irrational. The best that we can do is hope that somewhere along the line, someone will listen. I think this is why, most of the time, we end up doing things ourselves. We know that the job will be done right because we'll listen to all of the specifications that we would like to have followed in completing a certain task. The minute that we let someone else in on the job, things start to get jumbled and directions forgotten and lost in the chaos of things.

With all of the many changes and rules that we have in this world today, it's hard to keep track of them all. We tend to think of them more as guidelines because the second that someone tells us not to do something, we want to do it to prove them wrong. It's just our natural instinct. Thinking of the rules as guidelines is so much easier because then we don't feel as bad if we break them. We believe that it's in our best interest to follow the rules, but then think about how we each have to choose a way to live our own lives. We can either sit back and do nothing or take every moment for what it is and live on the edge.
