THE RULES

Gettting along in life and being accepted by others depends to a large extent on knowing and following the “secret” rules. I say secret becasue no one is going to tell you what they are, and if you ask, the existence of The Raules will be denied and you wil be deemd wierd and crazy. They are never to be spoken of – clocked in adamant denial by th epurveyors of them.
Demonstrating knowledge of these secret rules is part of how the herd designates outsiders and keeps them out. Society is composed of group of rule followers. Those who do not know and follow the unspoken rules are cst aside. They do not belong. Some of this casting aside may have value – as in pedofiles and murders, etc. But for most people it just simply means that one is not accepted by the click.
In general people are very big on rules and they like people who follow the rules. There are rules for everything. Those who are independent, creative. Thinkers, automatically do not fit in. In the most benign form this culling protects society and individuals from dangers. In the most dangerous form it creat4es separation and squashes individuality , intelligence and invention. In general the innovators, sicnetists , thinkers and leaders of the4 past , without whom we would not be where we are today, were condemed, critcized and faced much resistance becasue they dared to think diferently from the “pack.”
So dare to think diffferently. Dare to think at all. Consider alternative perspectives, ponder possbilitis and consequences, seek new and innovative ideas and dare to be yourself independent of the herd norm. Without this individualaity there is no spark to life.
