Honk! Honk!

“If they didn’t want you to drive on the sidewalks, they wouldn’t pave them.”
Before The Chemical Buddha lost his driver’s license, one of his life philosophies was if it was paved, you could drive on it. We’re pretty sure it was this thinking that lead to his losing his, as the judge put it, ‘privilege to drive’. But The Chemical Buddha was all about pushing the rules as far as he could. Maybe it was because his parents’ rules were always changing. One day it wasn’t OK to smoke pot, the next it was OK as long as he did it his bedroom. Until finally, he could smoke pot in the living room as long as he kept his pants on. Eventually, they even gave up on that. So he learned it was possible to push and get away with stuff. Of course, he also found the court of law wasn’t that forgiving. No matter how much he whined about it. The rules actually did apply to him too. Unless he was super rich.
Where in your life do you push your boundaries?
Do you try to whine and weasel your away around people’s boundaries or do you respect them and work within them? What are the results of that?
