Rules are almost always arbitrary and their merit occurs largely from convincing people to follow them so that we know what to reasonably expect. When you say “screw the rules,” chaos follows. That’s how rules work in general. There is no further justification, nor does there need to be – unless your mind happens to be caught up in the idea that everything needs to be justified to satisfy you personally.
Everything else – the merits of X or Y particular set of rules – is just window dressing. When you get caught up in that you are missing the point.

There is a time and place for everything… including rules… But, meeting people who have different ‘rule sets’ can be mind blowing :0)
@BlissfulRedemption - It can! I used to think that once you met one nonstandard person that would prepare you for anything, but that wasn’t true.
unfortunately, most people cannot even begin to get close to being on that level. management taught me so.
@consignedhearts111 - You mean, the level of life where they understand it’s not all about them?
exactly.
