If I broke rules but impinged on someone else's wellbeing, or freedom, I don't think I'd feel very happy about it.
Sometimes I do wonder why we have rules for some things, though. For example, one of my boys had been serving at Midnight Mass and got dressed in his outdoor clothes, and came back in Church to find something, and didn't take his hat off. He got told off, but I thought - why do men have to take their hats off when they go indoors? Women don't! That is a centuries-old rule that it wouldn't kill anyone to break. There are loads more examples.
And they vary from country to country and region to region. So one man's meat is another man's poison.
When I was little, a man was considered effeminate if he kept his change in a purse. I bet loads of women were continually mending their men's pockets. That rule (or perhaps I should call it an attitude) seems to have changed now. And look - no harm done!
