One must play the game of life by the rules. What happens when a player of some game, whether it be checkers, chess, baseball, football or whatever, refuses to play by the rules? What happens if a driver of a car deliberately refuses to abide by the rules of the road? It is the same way with life. If we refuse to live by the rules of life we end up with troubles and problems. All is messed up and nothing works right. What rules of life do you ask? The man who lies, deceives or cheats is violating one of the rules of life. The rule of Honesty. The man who brags and boasts is violating a rule of life. The rule of modesty. The man who always tries to grab for himself the best spot, place himself ahead of others, is violating a rule of life. The rule of unselfishness. The man who is malicious and cruel to others is violating a rule of life. The rule of kindness to others. In fact the most of the rules of life can be summarized in one rule "Love your neighbor. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Oct 1986
