Too Many Rules

I was watching a show this evening on Facebook, and it was a show where the host would invite his guests, and they would sit in a dinning table and eat while the host asks them questions. It is basically like the 'Hot ones' show, the only difference is that they don't just eat only chicken like they do on hot ones, but different variety of foods.

While I was watching that show, I found myself thinking about table manners and how that show literally was going against what table manners stands for. But just as that thought crossed my mind, another one came as quickly too, almost as if it came to shut up the first thought about table manners.

All of a sudden I found myself thinking about how in this very short life that we live in, we have too many rules, or we spend a lot of our times focusing on too many rules when we should just be living our best lives.

The other day, I saw a video of a man trying to teach people the proper way of eating an orange, and he had a knife and a fork with him, Lol.

I understand that certain rules are necessary in life to keep us safe and in check because living in a world without rules will be nothing but chaotic. Looking left, right and then left, is an important rule we still apply till this day.

But sometimes, not everything has to be done by the books. Sometimes if it's not too serious or critical, you can just wing it, have a little fun while at it, if it works, fine… If it doesn't work, then you learn from it, after all, learning is a huge part of life.

Now I don't know if it's a good idea to ignore table manners when eating, but this post isn't exactly about that but something a lot bigger, I'm talking about life in general. Also Live it, love it.
