Living in a world of limitations

I feel that this is an era of limitations. Sometimes you may feel that something you want to do is not something wrong, they simply don't let you do it. And there are many rules and regulations that tell you that you cannot do something without telling you the reasons. Or even if it does, the reasons may be something ridiculous that you simply can't agree with.

Let's think about this situation: There is this rule, although well known, but broken purposely or inpurposely a thousand(or more) times a day. And what is more interesting is that, even the ones who are supposed to enforce the rules don't accuse anybody who breaks the rules in a normal situation. What is the meaning of having this rule? Shouldn't this rule be reconsidered and changed accordingly?

I have not been the rule maker so perhaps I am a bit naive regarding this. But I think rules should be made with some clear reasons that really have the points. And it should be flexible and adaptive to this ever changing environment. This is especially important in this IT age. Everything changes so fast nowadays.

In the past, since it is impractical to get all the people involved in making decisions regarding rules and regulations, we have representatives, who are supposed to voice out our opinions. However, the situation is much different now with the advent of IT technologies. It may be insecure sometimes, but I think it is practical enough to give everyone a chance to vote for a decision to be made, or send their opinions directly to the authorities.

So, to the rule makers out there: please respect the ones who are supposed to follow the rules you are making, ask their opinions before making any decisions. With this you may get better rules which will be willingly accepted by the majority of people.

Thanks.
