Show Me The Rules

Not your opinion or interpretation

Too many times I encounter little Adolph Hitler’s who wanna make their own rules and then try to enforce it.

They get put into positions of power and want to create their own little prison where they are the warden and control everything.

I have encountered these people in life.

I have encountered them at work.

I have encountered them in society

And I have encountered them in my writing life.

Gatekeepers who keep the riff raff out but cannot really prove where the rules they enforce come from.

These are Karen’s who just can’t stand to let anyone get away with anything. Even when there’s no real rule to enforce.

Just rules they made up to make life harder on others.

While they sit at the gate, keeping people out.

I wanna see the real rules.

I wanna see the real laws.

Every time you encounter one of these little Adolph Eichmanns’ demand to see the actual rule or law.

Stop obeying fake rulers.

Stop giving money or time to people who make life hard.

If their rules, do not match the real rules or laws. Then stop using them. Stop submitting to them. Stop frequenting them. Let them go under.

Let me give you a simple example, that we all have seen.

COVID.

During Covid, the government gave certain directions for people to do to keep themselves, their family and others safe. Whether we agree or not.

But, when you go to a store, or a business, the business has chosen to create 10 extra rules.

In order to keep you super safe.

But then, you come back a few days later and there’s a different employee enforcing the rules. And now there’s 15 rules.

Then, you come back a different day and there’s a different employee and we are back to 10 rules, or we might even go down to 8 rules.

The actual rules are what the governing authority said, no one else.

I realize that business has the power to dictate certain things within the realm of their own influence. But, I also have the freedom to watch them go bankrupt.

But, what about the little Hitler at the door. The one who says “I’m just doing my job”

This Karen chose to add rules that did not exist, or interpret rules in a ridiculous way. Then use the little power they had to make life harder for people.

My Covid example, is a simple one to explain my point.

If people want to follow rules, then they need to follow the real rules, not create more.

Life is hard enough, we don’t need to make it harder.
