Why do we have rules?
Why do people post, even make others commit to obeying if they will never enforce them?
Why do we set a higher standard to those who don't break rules, but a lesser standard to those who refuse or aren't smart enough to comply?
Are rules, in their truest sense, a form of comfort or cowardice? Do those who make rules do it to convey power or to boost their ego. I am not talking about laws, but simply rules. I am not a disciplinarian in any form, but I command respect. Notice I did not write "demand," as who am I to force my will upon another. I gain respect by showing respect to those who the situation would imply I am superior. I do not ever want another human being to think I want to wield power over them and I am disgusted by those whose egos are so fragile., or they are simply afraid of any type of confrontation, to think (keyword: think) they wield power over me.
Again, why do we have rules? Is it that people, who through their own words and actions, can not garner respect? Are the rules even for those who it is implied must abide by them> Have we ever considered that rules create chaos for those who had never intended on breaking them, but grow frustrated when they're not enforced? Isn't anarchy really just an uprising against the lax approach to the enforcement of good for all? The irony of those handing down the rules being the most docile of them all.
