RE: Rules (and laws) are made to be broken
Rules should be challenged. Laws should be broken.
Both laws and rules are conventions we choose to respect so that we are allowed by other humans to thrive on our own.
Yet laws are far more complex than rules. Rules should be simple. Laws should be complex.
Complex rules and complicated laws are nothing but inflicted control.
Following fair rules is not obedience. Following fair rules is a form of mutual respect. Following unfair rules is servitude.
Following unfair laws is obedience. Following fair laws is sanity.
Breaking the law is a sickness of the society. Challenging rules is growth pains of the society.
The difference between challenging and breaking is process. Challenging assumes valid alternatives and formal updates. Breaking means complete banishing or structural updates.
