It's 9AM
What do we say to the god of rules?
I keep saying “Ignore the rules”
or some version of it
And it’s really more a message to me than to you
Though if it helps you too, that’s gangbusters
I don’t say the actual word ignore though
My vernacular is more along the lines of what a sailor might say
F-bomb the rules
Except…
I don’t
Even though I KNOW rules are literally just made up to make us act a certain way
Sometimes so we can fit in with society and live well within our Tribes
And yes, look around you, you have about 30 people you know who you are close too
The rest you know about
So your tribe might want you to do things a certain way
So you feel normal
Hence… rules
Like putting young kids into rigid education enviroments where they are forced to sit still and listen and follow the rules
When young kids were built to go outside and run and play and fight and build forts and explore
We built school environments for adults
And when little kids don’t sit still and shut up in the room for adults
We medicate them
If you saw One Flew Over The Cukoo’s Nest, it’s almost the same theme and thing
Do what we say
Or else
And we carry that over into adulthood too
Go to college. Get a job. Get married. Have kids. Work your whole life away with one vacation a year.
Buy a car that you have to have the job to pay for.
Get a house that you have to have a job to pay for.
Cut your grass the way the HOA says. Don’t hang a flag unless they approve it.
Sock away 10% per paycheck in your 401k so that you can retire.
I could keep listing “rules” that tell you how you live
Or how you are supposed to, at least
But what happens when you say F- the Rules?

Rules are sometimes meant to be broken
