Breaking rules

Rules are meant to be broken.We say this nonchalantly without realizing the consequences.If you forbid a child to do something,he does it anyway in spite of repeated warnings.There's a child in all of us which forces us to break rules even when we, as mature adults are aware of it's consequences.We always jump queues,signals and railway tracks knowing it's dangerous and causes inconvenience to others.Sort of gives us an immense pleasure.I would say a little discipline never hurts.In Other countries,you are fined for littering and in some,you end up behind bars.See the irony,Indians living in other countries don't litter but mess up their own homeland.The recent ban on smoking in public places has invited a lot of wrath from smokers.They wish to live life on their own terms but is it too much to ask to show a little concern for others.Not to smoke in places where people are affected.In a lift ,I noticed a sign that said,Lift not available for going down,take the stairs instead, to which a doctor said ,Hah! rules are meant to be broken, and pressed the button to go down.We were only three floors up,How hard is it to take the stairs down? They always advise others to follow the book,be disciplined, and here he was clearly flouting one.I chose to take the stairs instead.
