I think it is good to have rules in life. Without rules this world would not exist. Let's see in my experience there are just three rules in life 1. Parkinson's law- it is easier to get forgiveness then permition 2. Spencer's law- anything that can go wrong will go wrong to Spencer 3. And most importantly of all the rule that has been handed down in my family for generations, the one rule, no matter what you do. Don't get caught. So, tell me is it a good thing to have rules in life?

You are right saying: without rules this world would not exist. Yes, of course this is very good to have some rules. If you don't have any(most people do)your LIFE and EVERYBODY else says you what to do and how to do so you are not yourself you're living others people life because you don't know what you want. There are plenty rules that I have. The most important three are: Honest, Trust and Respect. I have rule that I don't listen to people who bullshiting and thinks that they know everything better that anyone else.I have rule that I close my belt when I go somewhere with my car. Rules are good, it is just everybody has to know what he wants, just know what he/she likes, when someone don't like meat and he/she eat meat because somebody else tell them to do it they are just against themselfs. For example I like to try new things so I learn more about me and I give me some simple rules that I will do it again or not. Some rules are very stupid ... some are very good, some are not important some other well. Rules are a little bit discipline and discipline is a way to success. People also need some rules to keep away from danger.

I belive the same..! Life should always contain rules. its a must for life of a "human beings" . Rule makes a good life and that makes a god human being!! Because of these rules only we have such better life...!! My mother made it a rule for us to drink milk every day that to before leaving for school. she made us wake up sharp at 6:00 am . We still have dinner sharp at 9:0pm Every thing is soo according to rules in my family that life without rule is somthig "I" can't picture. Its first step towards "perfection"..!!! :)

Rules hold us together. Moras and folkways? Morals are like laws and folkways are like manners. Only the strong would survive without these. Good one.
