This text explores the nature of rules and order through the Dalai Lama's millennium message, specifically his advice to learn the rules so that one knows how to break them properly. The author highlights that while rules are essential for any meaningful action, their mere repetition should not be the ultimate goal. Instead, one must strive for improvement and correctness, which often necessitates transcending or breaking existing regulations. The reflection compares this view with a hypothetical formulation by Emanuel Rádl, noting the limitations of both perspectives. Rigid adherence to rules can hinder progress, while breaking them without a higher purpose can lead to misunderstanding. The author argues that human existence requires rules, yet it also demands their continuous refinement or replacement with better ones. Ultimately, the focus is neither solely on the rules themselves nor on the act of breaking them, but on the pursuit of what is truly right, which guides us toward a more profound understanding of order and ethics beyond formal constraints.
