While discussing the importance of rules, I gave this analogy:
Let's imagine that it's no rules day at Wal-mart. We walk into the store and the greeter says, "Welcome to Wal-Mart. Today there are NO RULES!"
SWEET! First thing I would do is go get a bike and start riding it around the store! I have always wanted to do that! What would you guys do?
-I would go and play with the toys!
-I would get some money!
-I would eat at the McDonalds in Wal-Mart!
-I would throw the footballs!
-I would get me some movies!
-I would steal everything in the store!
OK that all sounds fun--if it was just us. However, if there was a no rules day at Wal-Mart then you know everybody and their dog would come out to the store and get in on the fun.
If I was riding my bike in the store and a bunch of little kids were running around--what could happen?
If I was playing with some toys and a bunch of older kids came up and wanted to play with the same toy as me, what might they do?
If I was getting some money out of the cash register and other people saw me doing it and they decided that they wanted that money too, then what could happen?
It might be fun to have a no rules day, but you see, rules are necessary for the safety of all of the people.
