Why Rules?

Why Rules?

Have you ever wondered who made rules? Why we are following them? What happens if we don’t? What happens if at one point of time you come to know that what you have followed is wrong? Why are we marking things as right and wrong? What if right is wrong and wrong is right?

We have always built our future upon what we believe today. The whole future of human would crumble like a card castle if someone could prove that his rules are wrong. Are we blindly following what was given to us? Let it be science or let it be spirituality, we always follow rules. What if a new species, better than us evolve? Will they follow our rules? If they don’t, does that mean that rules are for the weak?

We should accept that, we have grown to this far by obeying the rules. But we should also doubt them. May be without them we could have grown wider and taller. Some things are forbidden to us. We never tried to taste them, we don’t really know what happens if we taste them. May be there is something else much more important than what we have achieved. We just don’t see it, because we are blinded by what we have achieved and believed.

What if one day you wake up and find all the rules broken? Will that lead us to a new life which was never tasted before? Or will that be the worst day of our lives? Who is ruling our life? We or the Rules?
