The Rules Are For Sissies

Scott Shaw

Have you ever noticed how strong and bold people are when they are in a group or when they are hidden behind a cloaked of anonymity? During these conditions they are able to do all kinds of things that makes them feel empowered and makes them appear as if they are a part of the greater good. But, get them alone, expose them for who they are, and all of sudden they become very weak and very docile.

This is the problem when people are not defined by a true sense of self, are not strong in who they are, and do not have a true sense of self-assurance. For a person who is self-security is able to stand up alone and fight the most daunting opponent. Those who are weak hide behind groups and anonymity.

This mindset of weakness is also illustrative of mob mentality. When there is a group supporting the person, egging them on, then they will push forward with their position. But, the moment they are alone, they again must hide behind nicety and secrecy for they are not strong enough to stand their own ground and go face-to-face with a person.

People like this are just sissies.

Follow the Leader
Throughout time, people have followed leaders that guide people towards disaster. Why do people follow? Because they are feeble minded and due to their weakness of mind, they find that if they follow the rules and join in with the crowd then, somehow, they may be accepted and become someone who matters. But, anyone who follows the rules of any person, organization, or movement is not a true person and is not whole unto themselves. They do not know true-self, they only know how to follow. And, a follower never becomes a leader. They are simply damned to a life of continually tying to gain a sense of self worth by following the guidelines of others.

Certainly, we can all understand that one who follows another person or a group into a lifestyle that commits crimes, knowingly hurts people, and eventually lands themselves in jail is not a good thing. But, how is the person who follows the rules of a group that promises what they are doing is righteous any different?

What is righteous? Righteous is only the consensus of whatever group is preaching its virtues. It does not make what they are teaching universally right or good. It is just what a group is programmed into believing by the, oftentimes, charismatic leader of the group.

So, anyone who follows this path of so called righteousness and goodness is nothing more than a pawn. And anything that they do is nothing more than following a pathway that has no true fulfillment at its end. Why? Because in all cases, groups, polices, ideologies, and rules change. Then, the person who has followed them, supported them, and been guided by them becomes nothing more than the garbage that is tossed away once the structure for the group is no longer a valid platform. Moreover, any person who has followed the path of the group, be it so-called good or bad, positive or negative, has done nothing but created bad karma for themselves, because they have negatively affected and, in some cases, actually hurt the lives of the other people they have accosted while they were walking the path, founded by the group consciousness.

A clear way to come to understand if what you are doing is wrong, when you believe it to be right, is to simply ask yourself, "Who are you doing it for?" And, "Why are you doing it." If doing it makes you feel better, more fulfilled, part of the greater good of a specific group, or you think what you are doing will somehow put you in better standing with the group, then you are living a lie of consciousness. You are not whole onto yourself. You are simply a small-minded follower attempting to find self worth from those you are giving your power to. Plus, if you believe that what you are doing is following the rules and, therefore, you have somehow become more or better as you chastise, criticize, physical or mentally hurt or damage another person, then you are simply delusional. As you are delusional, you have proclaimed yourself to be very weak. And, from weakness, based in negativity, you can never become strong.

Face facts; if you damage anyone, at any level; if you attack anyone at any level, you are cultivating bad karma and it will come back to haunt you. It is as simple as that.

If you think you are following the rules, written in "The Rule Book," of the group or helping the group to become better by doing what it is that they ask you to do, you are still developing bad karma. Just because something is sanctioned by a group does not make it pure or right.

Rules only exist to get the people at the top of the heap what they want. By creating rules, the people at the top fill their own egos by having people do what they want them to do.

But let's look at life -- there never is any absolute right; just as there never is any absolute wrong. Right and wrong are only a perception of time, culture, and the mindset of those around you.

Rules are a lie. Making other people conform to the rules you believe in is a sin. And, anything that you do to attempt to get people to follow the rules, (of whatever group you belong to), will only cause you to create negative karma for yourself, which will come back and haunt you.

Whatever you do, will be done to you. It may not be today or tomorrow but it will happen. Think about it…
