The Rules of Life

(Grace) #1

Yo u c a n a l w a y s t e l l t h e r e a l R u l e s P l a y e r s ; t h e y ’ r e t h e o n e s
asking questions while others are reacting, panicking, misin-
terpreting, assuming, losing control, and generally behaving
badly.


Ask questions of yourself constantly. Ask why you think
you’re right—or wrong. Ask yourself why you are doing cer-
tain things, want other things, follow a particular course of
action. Question yourself firmly and rigorously, because
maybe there isn’t anyone else doing it. And you need it. We
all do. It keeps us from assuming we know what’s best for
ourselves.


And, of course, there is a time to stop asking questions—of
others and of ourselves. You have to know when to back off.
All this takes a long time to learn, and we all make mistakes as
we go. Any questions?
