Abiding By The Rules

Rules are the most important perspective that governs a person. From the way a person reacts to the laws and rules of a nation, we can find out his love towards the nation. Similarly, everyone has to follow rules at every stage of their life, be it a child, an adult or even an old citizen. Earlier from the beginning of the world itself, there were rules. The first rule ever in history was the one given by God to Adam and Eve. They were given the whole of the Garden of Eden except the tree in the center of the garden. Strictly they were prohibited from eating the fruits of that tree. But once they disobeyed God's commandment, they were thrown out from God’s paradise on earth. There are rules like this for everyone. They are kept to maintain peace and harmony in the nation or a particular community.

It is the common nature of human beings to do anything if they are told not to and to not do something that they are told to do. We just do the opposite of anything and everything. It is the common tendency and behavior of humans. From our schooling itself, we are following rules and it is a burden for all of us, coming late to school, improper uniform, misbehavior in class and so much more. All these, if not followed strictly, will be followed by punishments and scolds. When we finished school, we thought that jail life is over and that we will be free in college. But it was even worse. Even if make fun of somebody or tease anyone, then it becomes a criminal offense under ragging. Boys and girls should not be seen together and it goes on. Finally, after graduating, we became individuals living under our own income. We became proud of ourselves and thought our life to be completely free after this.

Imagining ourselves flying high in the sky, we begin to spread our wings and started to fly even high when we were struck under our boss rules or under the rules of higher officials. It was then that we realized the fact that there is not even a single person in this world who does not have to obey rules. From pope to the president, from children to adults, from beggars to rich people, all have to follow the regulations and rules they are abided by, because only then will we be able to live in harmony. If you ask some children whose parents are abroad and are sending bugs for their pocket money, they will say that it would have been good if there was someone to control them. We here who are constantly monitored and control feel outburst. But you should realize the fact that it is all for our good and not worse.
