On Rules
Some rules are made by nature/God. The color of your skin, your country of birth, your genes, socio-economic status of your family and so on.
However, rules made by your school, family, bureaucrats, governments, and society are arbitrary. You can change them if you don't like them.
Don't like your friends? Find new ones.
Don't like your opinionated relatives? Stop dealing with their bullshit.
Don't like your profession? Get into a new one.
Don't like your country? Change it or immigrate to another one.
There is where you exhibit your free-will and make your own destiny. All it takes is self belief, work, smartness and guts.
