Rules

I have rules. None are in a book, none are meant to be followed, they are just rules. I’m sure you have rules. Ones you don’t even know of. But if you look closely, you might surprise yourself. Find that I am not crazy. Maybe they consist of not touching things. Example could be, not getting near a cat because the last time you did one bit you. We all have rules or standards that we hold ourselves to. Anything less is just not good enough.

Maybe, that’s the problem in today’s society. You could walk in downtown Los Angeles or even take the subway in New York and see a person who looks of lesser value to you. Then, what? You try to grab the farthest away seat or walk as fast as you can without getting notice? Or get the closest seat? Or give a nice smile or wave?

The rules are yours, it is your decision to break them.
