Law

Let me share an experience i had a few months earlier.

My friend and i have some business to take care at the administration building at my university.

When we arrived there we checked at the counter lobby -something you usually do.

The security guard asks us what our business is.

After we've state our intentions, he let my friend to go in, but didn’t allow me to enter.

I asked why.

He answered it’s because that i have long hair. -it’s against the school's policy to have long hairs.

(Initially, I do know that my hair is long, and I know the guard wouldn’t let me in because of it)

So I told my friend to go on without me.

Then that security guard gave me a lecture, saying that we as students need to follow the schools policies and all those boring craps. (bla bla bla~)

Then I asked him,

 "So, you're saying that we, as students, need to follow these policies. Right?"

The guard answered yes.

I asked him

"Policies and laws are made for a reason. Just now, you've told me that having a long hair is against the school's policy.

So what exactly is the reason why the school won’t allow me to have a long hair?"

The guard was in shock. And so was the people that heard our conversation.

He paused, quite a while, unable to answer my question.

Seeing the awkward moment the guard was having, I laughed a little, and walk away from them.

Haha.

I know, I did cause him to lose his cool.

I wasn’t being anarchist or something. We do need laws. But i wont overlook that there are some needless laws out there (just my opinion).

But I do pity for someone like him.

Why? Because he, as a guard, defends a policy that he did not know the intention for.

Simply put, he is defending a law that he himself did not know why existed.

That is simply dangerous..

Next time you want to follow a law, know the law's intention first..
