Quote of the Day:

“Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.” Ursula K Le Guin

Meaning of the Quote:

Yes, it takes the occurrence of injustices to play out for the introduction of rules to govern those injustices. However, it takes great courage to realize the consequences of breaking rules, but you are still willing to break them anyway.

Discussion of the Quote:

Indeed, most times, it takes injustice for the creation of rules to occur. When an injustice is put into motion and the impact it creates on others is realized, it is only then that the powers that be, are moved to create laws to ensure that the injustice does not happen again or if it does, the perpetrators will suffer the consequences that are connected to that injustice.

Additionally, sometimes other injustices occur but no rules are put in place to prevent them from occurring again and again. So there are people who continue to suffer injustices while the perpetrators are allowed to continue to practice those injustices. As a result, that is how some people have the courage to break rules so that others can be created to alleviate other injustices.

Final Thoughts:

There will always be injustices in the world that we live in. Therefore, rules should be {but not always} put in place to combat those injustices. More importantly, the rules should be appropriate for the injustices that they govern.

Furthermore, there will be people who are not happy with the rules and will oppose them to the point of breaking them. The question is: are the rules fair and will they be able to deter the injustices that they were created to prevent. If not, then what is the point of their creation? As for those who break the rules, it takes courage to break any rule for that matter knowing that there can be and will be consequences to suffer for doing so.
