WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THE "RULES"?

I'm sick of all of this talk of "The Rules". It seems like as long as someone above them in income, postion or both, says "These are the rules." we must obey them because our paycheck depends on it. Why are the rules so damn important, all the time? Do we live in a society where no one questions authority anymore, ever? Why can't we have the power to toss the rules out the window from time to time, as long as no one gets hurt and everyone is to gain? What's the big deal? I guess I'm just tired of everyone blaming their bosses for things that inconvenience, annoy, or otherwise perturb other folks. Like the parking enforcement guy who insisted on giving you that ticket even though you were moving your car, or the landlord who threatened you with eviction because you were 24 hours late with the rent. Give the world a break and break one of your precious rules once in a while. It doesn't have to be a big one and no one even has to know - do it for yourself. You'll feel better, trust me.
