Little knowing....that the rules and guidelines are boundaries for keeping self safe from harm? Not a set rules for discipline at all? But guidelines for happy living?
Hmmmmmm.....and the outcome? A descent into darkness, despair, anguish, anxiety, depression, discontent? Ultimately, harm...to self...and any others close?
The Devil made me do it? Likely an attitude.
