Rules??? What it means???

If you think rules are crazy so do me.. Tough rules and strict laws have ruined our personalities...Rules if binding on a person with strict enforcement may affect him adversely. Contrary to this, life without rules would have been chaotic.

Its Sigmund Freud's id phenomenon that we all get thrill, a feeling of adventure or satisfaction in doing what we are not allowed to do. When we are asked not to do something, we feel a strong urge to do it. This is the basic tendency of every human. As Katherine Hepburn said " If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun".

The taste of a stolen mango from a farm is much more than we get buying one!! Then as simple as that "SIMPLY BREAK THE RULES".....!!!!!

Recently in California which is a large and trend setter state in USA came up with Rules to control road traffic accidents by banning mobile phone usage while driving. All obeyed their Terminator Governor Arnoldo Schwarzenegger. And can anyone afford to deny him??

Seeing this ban order, it makes me ponder how far rules can be made?
If there is ban on using mobile phones while driving, then what about riders who change songs on ipods & car stereo. Is there any rule to ban this?
Now, what about drivers having a subway or Mc Burger with Coke while driving? Does the rule book ban this?
What about office goers reading morning post on news papers while driving?
Pretty Blonde making up with lipstick or face talc?
Young music enthusiast trying harmonica?
So ideally the rule book, needs to mention all these and more.


Similar to this, there is a rule in school during invigilation for invigilators. The rule is, "Not to use laptop or read novels while invigilating". The rule is there to maintain strict invigilation during exams. Needless to say, very less people enjoy 1-2 hrs of constant vigilance staring at self involved, mind boggling, head scratching kids taking exams!!

If there is one such rule about laptops & novels, then there should be more like the California experience. These are...
Invigilators should not read any magazines, no study materials, no checking SMSs, no talking to fellow colleagues, no solving puzzles or sudoku, no thinking about family, no dreams about
date with Peirce Brosnon, no watching beautiful woman on the corridor, no yawning or else no dozing. Because Rules are rules and we know, the pages never end.

Rules are common in schools. The rules are not to be just laid to face their extinction before they could continue. My boarding school had strict and several rules which were followed without any rule book (inexhaustible number of rules). I was crowned many a times for breaking few silly rules. I continued protesting for unusual rules and thats history.

Why such rules ?? Which are made to break!!! Or making more new rules to stop breaking the rules. As long as rules are been made, there will be persons to break.

The discussion here is open with this comment by a quaote from People's Princess Diana "I don't go by the rule book? I lead from the heart, not the head"
