So many rules.  So
many restrictions.  Do you not at times
wish to go and live on an island where you can just be free to be yourself?  That island lives within you, my friend.  You can always go there when you seek peace,
but you will not want to stay for long.  Just as if you lived on an island alone,
sooner or later you would need and want interaction with others.  There is purpose in relationships.  All lead to learning, and growth, and the
evolution of the soul.  But interactions
inevitably lead humans to form a hierarchy, and where there are hierarchies
there are rules.  So, go along with those
rules if you must, but retreat to your sacred island any time you need a
reminder of what really matters.
