Hey friends,
Lot of discussions are going on this topic 'Rules are meant to be broken'. It may be true may not be true. However, I feel that rues are meant to be broken but we need to specify which rules. All rules need not be broken, if some are oppressive then there are as some rules which are made for the betterment of the society.
Just imagine, what would have happened, if there were no rules to elect government, no traffic rules. Any one can do anything, ride anywhere, go anywhere. Ya it sounds good for sometime thinking 'aapni marzi ke malik' (to be the master's of ones own will) but what next, in long-run, it will become a torturous, no one there to guide. Life will be like a boat without a boatman.
On the other hand, there are some rules which should be broken example dowry, child-marriage and many more. Conclusively, I would like to say rules are not meant to be broken but yes they need to be changed with time, situation and fashion.

When I was young my parents had this rule that I could never have dessert before dinner. I hated it because as with most kids dessert was the best part of my day. When I was 9 years old I had enough, my friend at the time josh was over and we decided to break the one rule that was never supposed to be broken, eat dessert before dinner.
We rode our push bikes down to the local store and bought a 2 liter container of neapolitan ice-cream and smuggled it into my room under my jumper. We hadn't eaten anything all day in preparation and were starving. Together we ate that whole container of ice-cream within the hour and within the next 40 minutes we were vomiting it back up.
Although it is a light hearted example of breaking a rule, I understand that if I hadn't broken that one rule I might still be eating dinner before dessert without any knowledge of why I was doing it. Sure, rules are set so we can all live in a perfect world but in the end the perfect world is the one we don't appreciate because we haven't learnt from our mistakes and experienced the reason for the rule in the first place.
Making mistakes and learning from them is instrumental in human development and rules are made to be broken to push us further into understanding our own boundaries and the worlds reasons for having rules. Rules are meant to be broken so we can learn for our own, and each others mistakes.

Let me express my views by describing what exactly are the rules made for, in my opinion rules are the restrictions laid in order to live a proper life in our society.
Rules form a important part of our life whether it is for road signals or schools it always are meant for a purpose. But I agree there are some situations in which we need to break them because we have no option for example to break a traffic signal in case of emergency like for saving one's life.
But today rules are broken for any unnecessary purpose for example many of people don't wear helmets while riding and this has resulted in a great number of loss of life, today the amount of traffic and rash driving is at high peak and if we don't keep our safety it definitely will lead to disaster.
In India laying rules is easy task but to follow them and implement them is a difficult job but we should all remember that we should all try to follow them because one's mentality becomes thousands when people see any one of us also breaking rules so lets not set a bad example for our people let's go for a change it's not I nor you but it's we who can make the difference.

There is a inner meaning of that "rules are to break". But we should know that where should it be. Misuse of rules are also harmful for us. No One should break it for his own benefit. Our young generations have got it in a wrong way.
They don't even know that he is playing with himself while breaking rules because rule are made for his benefit. They get a wrong image in mind of persons who sees him while breaking rules. And its better to wait then get a wrong image. And rules should be broken when its benefitable for public or a needy person keeping aside his own selfishness.

Rules is an important thing in day to day life.
Rules and regulation are help us to go in a proper way.
Rules helps for all age groups like students, teacher, parents. Etc.
Student have certain rules like need to complete homework, time management, Etc.
Likewise each and every persons have many commitments. If they follow the rules they can easily achieve the goal.

Rules are not meant to broke. But it is mostly broken by celebrities, politicians. The worst part is people also support them. Rules are not followed by lawyers and judges. So many cases are in pending to get bail.
But if a celebrity wants a bail he will get immediately. Rules must be followed rule maker. Then common man will also obey.

Rules are made to spend a better life in a systemic process. If any one think, it is his/her dad's property. Then they are going to a wrong manner. This is also called selfishness. If you are in emergency then you can break the rule. But that's not mean, your girl friend is waiting. And you break the traffic rule.

Rules are made to obey. If we are living in a nation we should obey our rules. Breaking our rules mean cheating ourself. For the the best economic condition of our country we should obey the rules that made by our government.

I don't think so why because of some rule are need to be broken for some time and some are need to be broken for life time some rules are to maintained. Following examples will explain in detail.
FOR EXAMPLES 1: TRAFFIC SIGNALS - if you are in emergency then you should break the rules rather stick with rules blindly because you are going to save the life of someone.
EXAMPLES 2: Rules should be broken for the creation of new rules like SATI DAHA which was for hindu but now replaced THE RULE.
EXAMPLES 3: Smoking in public is punishable.

According to me rules are made for making our life easier and in a better way, for making us good citizen. But we can't follow all the rules in each and every situation. So if it is necessary to break a rule if it is worthful then we should break it, regardless of any fear.
We make rule for our convenience not for causing a problem in our life. So if this is mandatory to break a rule for our benefit and if it is not harmful to others, then in that case we can break the rule.
