The Law

The line between right and wrong is the most imaginary of all.

What I see as most pertinent a reaction, most appropriate an action, is just that, but only to me.
And that's OK.

Irrespective of where we learnt our ABC's, where we knelt down to pray and who we spent our childhood in discovery with, we, each of us, is anomalous.

The paradox lies in the failure to believe this of ourselves.
As unique and as different as we are, we shy away from acceptance. We look to quote from institutions and laws. Those of us who are lucky enough, find congruence in these documents and feel empowered by the adherence to them over time. Those who do not, who have the courage to be otherwise, are deemed rebels.

However, we are all rebels to some law or the other.

The only law we abide by, is our own - laws oft larger than reason and explanation - Because we have different, and often contradicting requirements for every portion of our lives, subject to amendment as and when we see it fit.

And that's OK too - Because we are anomalous, our laws written to best befit our capabilities and faults.

So this is the law i choose to live by - that nobody acts without reason. And though i may not agree with their method, I agree with their motive - which is that, to get from day to day, we can't live by the laws of others; We live for, and only for ourselves.

And that's OK.

The truth - When i can summon no explanation, acceptance is an easier tenant.
