Veering Away from the RULE BOOK

Veering Away from the RULE BOOK

Rules are rules, period.  And when someone starts VEERING AWAY from the RULE BOOK, what happens next ?  Frankly, sometimes, it's all our fault, mea culpa and not someone else's.  Lots of problems we get caught up with in life are our own undoing.  BTW, mistakes are mistakes and that's fine but what's unfathomable is when we start VEERING AWAY from the RULE BOOK because that's when we seem to be the architect and brains behind the monster, the Frankenstein we seem to have built.  In brief, if we dutifully follow the RULE BOOK in life, as long as we don't go astray, one foot of ours is already a cinch to succeed.

Anyone not been yet to a camp-put or bonfire?  When we're into activities, isn't there a RULE BOOK to follow ?  And if anyone goes astray from the RULE BOOK, what else to expect but untold, unexpected outcomes which even the RULE BOOK cannot anticipate.  And obviously, we should expect the unexpected when things don't go by the RULE BOOK in our life.

Fact is, there are norms that are part of the givens.  And when you veer away from it, when you deviate from the norm, do we expect results to be within what is deemed normal ? If you're a student and you get that 'notorious' image of a deviant, do you think you will bag the school's top DEPORTMENT award ?  At work, if you seem to be that maverick guy deviating away from the RULE BOOK from time to time, what do you expect, how far will you go in your journey towards success ? And in your relationships with your loved ones, if you keep deviating from the RULE BOOK, how stable should your relationship will be ?

Simply put, even for the less ambitious, surviving life is not a steep mountain to climb as long as you follow the signages plastered all over the place.  Even detours and emergency exits are all clearly marked so it becomes perplexing when along the way, we sometimes get lost and end up in another dirt road that veers away from our path.  Stick to signages, you'll be good.

So, life is not that complex after all as long as you stick to the RULES, literally because there's no alternative to it.  Try VEERING AWAY FROM THE RULE BOOK, you may end up in a dirt road or worst, knock on wood, figuratlvely speaking, you will end up thrown or fallen in a deep ravine where survival just becomes an afterthought.  LESSON:  let's NOT VEER AWAY from the RULE BOOK of life❗❗❗
