We, as humans, have chosen 'leaders' to govern us and lead us. Society's expectations are a bit high these days, as well as their standards. Something I've always pondered about, which is, if humans has a set of 'rules' or standards to be followed, how can humans evolve and learn?
Put it this way, if the routine is to:
Eat breakfast -> Go to work -> Take a break and eat lunch -> Go home -> Eat Dinner -> Sleep
And assuming this is daily, how do we humans tend to do anything out of the ordinary? We're always doing the same things over and over, work to make money, money is used to 'survive'.
If society has a conformity so that every individual has to follow a strict set of rules, how do we change?
I've heard two sayings:
1) Rules are meant to be followed
2) Rules are meant to be broken
What's the borderline here? In order to change and progress, do humans break rules? Such as scientists 'cloning' and what not.
