I have been doing a lot of soul searching during the past several weeks.  I’ve been thinking a lot about how precious life is!! we sometimes dont realize how lucky we are to have health, love and people that share our success and at times our struggles.  Looking at the many devastations happening all over the world; people dying/suffering, national disasters causing so much pain and heartache….what have we done as a people to cause this? what is happening to humanity? how can we change the path to our demise?

Sometimes I sit and contemplate…. the desire to be good…and do good.. is it innate or learned?  I think it has to do with environment…parenting…and others’ influences.  Society has imposed so many rules..regulations…what is appropriate and inappropriate?  what is considered right or wrong? For example, when we speed on the highway, we’re always on the lookout for state troopers…Why?  b/c we know there are speed limits, and we  know we have to follow them!  but we still do what we please….speed!!!!

There seemed to be rules for just about everything…we set rules for our kids…teachers set rules in the classroom…jobs set code of ethics….parents set expectations….you can sue anyone who causes u harm or for disagreeing…or trying to cheat someone out of their own cash!!!

Rules…Rules …. Rules… we are a society of rules/regulations and laws…..

Without rules who would we be? A society of vagabonds!!! perhaps? a lot of those reality TV shows have something in common; such as..how far would we go to have our way? how far are we willing to go for self satisfaction?

Society needs rules and regulations!!! or do we?   Without them, would we be  living  in chaos? one against the world?  By monitoring one another via the legal system, are we truly protecting ourselves from being cheated? violated? hurt? disappointed? Or,  have we been programmed to believe that without laws/regulations, we would be a society of brutes and immorals?

Any comments??
