Why One Should Have Rules In Life?
For when we know the rules, we play better.
Instincts cannot give survival
Unlike animals human cannot run their lives on the basis of instincts. As life does not only mean surviving, for humans. Humans have ambitions, goals, dreams to achieve. They have families, relationships, social life. They cannot afford doing anything based on their instincts. As humans running our livesis not only limited to our survival. Instead it has something more than that to offer. We as humans try to make sense out of our lives, we human cannot just do whatever we want/or comes to our mind.
Having rules in life allow us to go in certain direction and choose wisely under different circumstances.
Rules are long-term
Rules are not meant for short tenures. They are usually followed through out of lives. It is quite common among people when they start believing something they stop questioning it. Which results in the rigidity of their character. However, rules once they are made, they are made for long-terms. If a person keeps changing their rules in life, then you should say them his/her instincts but not rules. Because, rules do not and should not be changed without any logical reasoning. As rules are long-term so they should not be so much weak that they need so many of improvements. But rules should not be so much hard and rigid that they do not leave any room for improvements. Time keeps changing so we always need amendments in rules created by us.
Rules should be based on reasoning
It is very good and beneficial for one’s life and all types of decisions in life that one is aware of the reasons why one is doing such things. And one who is living a life without reasons is living a life that has no value in it, because that person has not added any value in it.
If a person creates some rule for themselves then they should always look for reason of making them their rules of life. One should never borrow them from anyone. In fact one should create their own rules with proper reasoning considering their own needs. For having rules in life is a proof of having a thinking mind. Moreover, having rules in life determine focus of a person, discipline and success.
