We need the rules, but wisdom as well."
Wise words
from the Cherokees.
I think the
"binding rule" they mention could be a law approved by the society, or
it could be your own rule, from your own set of values.
For either
kind, if the rule "…becomes so binding that it will not allow common sense…,"
if it doesn't require and encourage honest action by you and your neighbors, then
something's gotta go.
If "the"
rule no longer makes sense to you, or if "your" rule doesn't make sense
to your neighbors, you have a problem, you gotta work on that, you're not living
on a desert island…
The best
thing to do is the right thing. If you can't define the right thing, time to
step back and think about it some more…
