So what?

More people are mean than nice. More people are rude than polite. More people are sad than happy. More people cheat than play fair. More people lie than be honest.

Yet we have rules, values, laws, religion that forbid all of these. If this 'badness' is so natural, so obvious, why all the rules? Who decided this is good or right compared to the other? Where did the conscience come from and why is it not more prevalent? Or why did it come at all?

It's so weird that something that is relatively more rare is considered the right thing. That something that's not natural is considered good. And I don't mean to disagree. I just wonder - what were we all like? And who decided that that which we all feel naturally inclined to do is wrong? AND WHO AGREED? How many agreed? Cos it took a lot of people, in power, to make those laws. To make those rules. People who themselves probably didn't obey those rules.

So WHY did someone or a group of someones make such rules? And how did it even occur to them that that which is unnatural is good? Did someone decide to play a colossal joke on humans to say - I know how hard it is to be 'good', so here are a bunch of rules that I know you cannot follow, so I'm making them up so you can always feel like shit about yourself? Or was it more - aspirational? I know these are difficult, but aspiring to be better will make you better. I would like to believe the latter rather than the former, but WHO thought like that? And had enough power to implement that?
