Rule Four

“Rules are but dogma with different fleas.

Dogma sires religion. In different degrees.

Religion is to have someone else think;

With your best interests at heart – wink, wink, wink. “

Corny, but best I know how to do.

I decided long ago to remain religiously irreligious. Reading a book by Gerry Spence, I cam across the idea and have stuck to it since. Gerry Spence, Trial Lawyer, Philosopher, All Around Cool Guy

What’s different about this?  If I am against rules how can I follow this one?

As I said in part one, rules have their place.  Here’s how I see it as different.  It’s my rule.  I am aware of it.  I can change my mind if I so choose.  And it follows this concept – “to thine own self be true.”

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it. Thoreau
