The Rules

The best trick anyone ever pulled on us was when they told us that there were rules. What are these rules, and what are they based on. You can't kill someone, that is wrong (now don't go getting the idea that I want to kill someone, I just want to talk about the idea). In all honesty, how do you justify the statement, 'it is wrong to kill someone.' Is it always wrong, or just wrong with certain exceptions. If someone did something really 'bad' maybe you can kill them. If one country signs a document saying that it is at war with another country they can kill each other, is that wrong? The thing about the world is, things either are or they aren't. That is why rules don't make sense, because sometimes they can be BROKEN, and then wow what a rush I am doing something that I am not supposed to be doing.

Rules about safety are my favourite. Hey, Hey, don't do that, that isn't safe. The sign says so, can't you see that orange flashing man, don't you know that you can only walk when the white walking man is on the screen. Didn't your parents teach you anything.

These rules make me sad, if you can't decide when is a good time to try and cross a road without having little men to tell you. Then I am sorry that you had to read all of that.

I am going to think a little more about the rules and get back to you.
