The natural instinct to break rules🔗

Actually, there is some taste in doing what you are not supposed to do. Once, a man became addicted to smoking. He came to me. He came to me asking for help, 'Please help me to quit smoking. I don't know how I became addicted. Please help me.' I asked him, 'How did you start?'

He replied, 'I never wanted to smoke. In fact, I hated the smell! One day my friend and I were talking in a street corner. My friend was smoking. My father saw from a distance and thought I that I was also smoking. When I went home he started firing me. He started shouting at me. I tried my best to explain him that I was not smoking. But he was not ready to listen to me. Then I thought, anyhow, he already shouted and is not willing to believe me, why not smoke? That is why I started smoking.'

Most of the time you have a taste if you are asked not to do something and you do it. You feel a kind of a joy, satisfaction by doing it. That is the basic tendency in every human being. When you say 'no' to your parents, you prove you are a man. As long as you say 'yes', you are only a child. You feel you are not mature. When you say no, you think you became mature! It is a basic tendency.

You can see in teenagers: the moment they say no, they think they are grown up and mature. You feel you have become mature and you have become man or woman by saying no to your parents. That is why so many rebellious groups; so many gangs. Because, there is a deep taste in saying no! Saying no is almost like addiction. When you say no, you try to prove you are somebody special; you are somebody different. As long as morality is given to you like a spoon-feeding, not with an understanding, you create two things.
