Strict authorities, constant rules and many such organizations may exist BUT...


… I, for one, in my every day ordinary and normal life, LET ALONE, one that is either full of fun or various choices, most of which I know automatically without constantly having to open a "life rule manual" of any kind, prefer not to think about it all the time. Is that natural, normal, understandable AND acceptable, as long as I don't "you know..." (fill in the blanks here).

I think it sort of is. But at the same time, we are constantly being told of these things and matters whether we like it or not. And yet, some of us, like me, may even get told off for taking life TOO seriously. "Just chill" and stuff.

Also, do too much of those rules restrain basic freedom? Or are they entirely necessary? Some of them may not even be in a legal sense but at least in a moral, they do exist. But why do we live in a kind of world where things are not universally handled correctly and in the name of right, why do we always struggle and battle for morality? Why can't all or even most humans agree on everything and have everything in life conveniently and equally divided, and that is, if we can't just eradicate all wrongs like that?

I've read reviews on sites even from people who give movies like "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980) 5 STARS STILL stating that rules and punishments on the controversial animal killings should be enforced, but then, some audiences and critics have defended such scenes but if you feel this way so strongly, why still praise the movie so highly whilst HIGHLIGHTING something morally NEGATIVE about it like that, and do such organizations matter THIS strongly or...?

And yet, we still have problems on other sides as well, like if society picks on us or gets mad at us even if in some cases we pursue just cause. That often makes ME feel worried, panic etc, but how do THEY live with themselves, especially if they ARE a part of the civilized society who DOES enforce rules AND active condemnations, or are they too clever or otherwise to notice, have they "learned" not to give a damn? Besides recognizing the bad etc, I can't help but wonder, WHY it happens like that and WHY those folks make such choices in addition to simply stating "its wrong".

What do we think, thanks.

P.S. And where WILL we be without it all? Still alive AND happy?
