What are the rules?

There are all of those phrases out there about rules: Rules of the game, Rules of engagement, Rules to live by, Classroom Rules, and the ever popular, Rule of Thumb. There is a rule made for a rule and rules are made to be broken. I am sure there is a study on this, so there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

What about the rules of life, or rules of blame? By nature, who really wants to be blamed for something? In a time that is full of uncertain situations, it becomes clear that by human nature, not everything can be predicted. There is harm when no one expects it and sometimes the most unexpected character turns out to be a hero. We have rules of diplomacy and those ever present rules of the game. We surprise each other by what we end up doing and sometimes cause harm in the name of malice....... Are there rules for malice????

There is a level of responsibility I dare not to wish for, and pray for those who do have it. Where is the beginning of the circle, really? What is the rule for inheriting Pandora's Box? If you, yourself do not know the whole story, can you really blame someone who knew the same story you knew and nothing more? A pendulum is swinging and that swing begins to grow and get closer to objects in it's path. If you stop it, are you saving your castle built with cards or interrupting the nature of motion? If you do not pull the trigger are you really sparing one who runs away, only to be hit by a semi because while they were running away, they looked behind them to make sure you did not change your mind and shoot anyway?

What are the rules... again?
