Breaking the rules.

It’s usually frowned upon. For good reason.

It’s how we hold it all together.

Society. Families. Organisations.

And the things we make. From a rocket ship to a song.

But sometimes the world (your neighbour, your community, your song) is crying out for the rules to be broken.

Something fresh is needed. Occasionally it’s a matter of life and death.

It’s a tricky one though, because when you break that rule, you may still be frowned upon. And you might get it wrong. You could break the wrong rule at the wrong time.

But sometimes. Sometimes you and the world will experience a breakthrough. Something that makes life better.

My own suspicion is that we need more brave people, not less, of the kind who will take a risk, and at least consider breaking the rules on occasion.
