You can't play the game unless you know the rules.

Of course you can, you just might not win in the opinion of the other players. Rules do help since they what not to do. That's what rules generally do, right? Tell you what not to do. "Have a nice day!" isn't a rule (but it should be). I'm kind of babbling I just thought it was an interesting sticker. I guess I could have just posted it without any text...

But the rules thing actually made me think about Joan this week. The talk was about choices, actually making choices, and wouldn't it be easier if we knew the outcome and could make the "correct" choice. It wouldn't really be a choice then now would it. It's interesting on how God "bullies" Joan into doing things but talks about choices and outcomes and such.

Back to the rules thing, rules are good, just people need to know when they can be broken. At McDonalds, a cheeseburger comes with ketchup, pickle, onions and mustard (right?) that's on their list of rules on how to make a sandwich. Wouldn't it be crazy if every McDonalds made their burgers different? But you can make a special order (thank God for that!) and change that rule so there are no pickles or mustard on it. If you asked nice they'd probably even put BBQ sauce on it, which would be way against the rules (but they might charge you two bits). So sometimes they are good and they let me 'have it my way'.
