As they say, in a place where there are no rules or law there is no sin there. Our world, like every other system. is governed directly or otherwise by at least an unwritten rule. Mind you, I might be using the words rules and law interchangeably. The concept of the rules and regulations, I guess, is as old as man himself, ranging from those war-torn and colonial eras to the modern-day as we know it. Then, in the latter, it was used as a cocoon to keep their subjects in check while now it goes way more than that.
Now, assuming I woke up to see that...
Honestly, I do not think I would want to wake up to such, I’d rather prefer it to be something I have been aware of before it would happen at least to plan some mischievous thing 😂. But really, no rules basically mean no morals of any sort if we were to go back to the humble beginnings of our respective lives.
... and realize that for the next twenty-four hours there will no rules guiding the world whatsoever..
Man, I am sure I would be confused and shocked at once to the bone marrow. I seriously hope this scenario of no rules will never come to pass. But for the sake of this post, we’ll let it slide. Again no rules mean no rule of law, no respect of human rights, no legislature to seek redress, and on and on. This is a chain reaction for chaos.
Back to base: No Rules No Morals.
This 24-hour window will definitely see children go haywire. In as much as parents, in my local society, try to mould their wards in the way of good morals and lifestyle and shun off vices, at times they get tired or may fail to get it to a profitable stage. And now rules aint going to be there for sometime, my dear, that child could break some bottles on the parents’ head!
The rule of law, of course, are rules guiding and ensuring the peaceful co-existence of man. In its true form, it is meant to show that nobody is greater than the law. But considering the case here, I seriously believe that those people higher in authority as at the time of maybe the announcement of no-rules will definitely use their position to wreak the havoc that they have been nursing in their hearts unscrupulously. The law, I can say, is one thing that is still holding some of these people back from doing their bad deeds to a common man. And even going scot-free! One of the things that will surely be roof breaking record of corruption that will ensue – well, there is no rule here anyway.
Even The Common Man
... won't be left out. And this is where the most chaotic scenarios are going to be exhibited. In my country, for example, we are naturally angry 😅, that is why before you approach anybody even your friend to ask for something, you beg. By saying, “Hello, I’m sorry ...”, “Pls no vex, I want to use ...” (no vex means don’t be annoyed). Like I said earlier, the rule of law and morality, basically, are those things that hold people back from doing their worst. Now, no rules for the common man and nobody to rebuke them. I am sure many will go for the head of most politicians first and when they are done, looting begins. There have been cases of looting anything lootable even when rules were rules let alone when there are none in the question.
It's Unimagineable
I just can not imagine enough how the world at large will be in the event of no rules. The world will descend into a state of anarchy, chaos will be the new rule – well, that may still be a rule, the weak will be trampled to death, the strong fight themselves to see who is stronger, the government will fall, the system collapses ..... the list is endless!
I hope this stops at just an imagination which I could not even imagine enough!
