 <\/p>\n

Our world is filled with rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some make sense<\/span><\/p>\n

Some do not<\/span><\/p>\n

But who are we to choose which ones to follow?<\/span><\/p>\n

You may question or ignore<\/span><\/p>\n

Your choice does impact others<\/span><\/p>\n

How they feel<\/span><\/p>\n

How they react<\/span><\/p>\n

And in some instances\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How we continue to survive and exist – together<\/span><\/p>\n
