Make Your Own Rules

The world loves dictating terms To keep you in check And in line; telling you Who you ought to be But you have the freedom To zig When told To zag. Listen to your inner voice instead. Make your own rules. Date written: 12/15/2021

Edward, I truly understand the spirit behind your idea, but I'm not sure it's always a good idea to "Make Your Own Rules." I can imagine chaos on the highways and in classrooms, for example! Thought-provoking, though.

Oh, I see what you're saying, Milt, and I agree! I was rather addressing a certain age demographic--responsible, mature adults with sound judgement--not all and sundry. I guess I should've made it clear, lol. Thanks for the visit, my friend.
