from the beginning of the human life, people invented rules to make their life easier and more secure. now the rules are everywhere, and by rules i mean the social ones not the rules like laws stated by the governments. you have to obey many rules to live in a society, to be accepted by other people, to avoid interfering the personal space of each individual. do you think we really need those social rules to maintain our dignity? or do these rules just limits our creativity? should we obey the rules in order to respect the common aspects of social life? or the rules are just limiting our creativity, making us more ordinary and putting us away from self identity?

Obeying rules is very important. In our life, we have our own rules and must follow them. In health, we also have our rules to follow...In games....in socializing, in loves, in relationship, in medications,foods we take, in dressing up, hairstyle, in writing novels or wahtever wo be made, in Oral reading, silent reading, in making friends, in helping people, in school teachers have their own tules inside the classrooms, in examination there's alwasy a rule to follow, in travels,in singing competitions anmd other competitions, in every church, religions, politics, GOD has His rules to be followed............EVERYTHING have Rules.....but............sometimes there are some circumstances that occured that need to break our own rules. So it is not consistent sometimes, we need to be considerate sometimes as HUMAN as we are.........the Doctors and nurses have their own rules in applying medicines.......we can't hide from rules. Life has it's own rule too. Will you consider that LIFE could be possible without the rules?

I only obey to social rules which I agree to. Social rules which I am not in an agreeing state, I will ignore and I never feel guilty if I break the rule. My principle in life is actually simple. As long as people don't bring trouble to me, I will not bring trouble to others. I still respect others but please have some respect towards me and please care about my dignity too. I will not attend a wedding (considered compulsory according to social rule in my family), if I don't feel like going. Nobody can say anything bad about me just because I didn't attend. That's what I mean, and I hope you undersand what is my message. Sorry for the poor english. Have a nice day, ayseteyze!
