Rules in a way do confide people but we would fall apart without them. There would not only be complete chaos but people could do anything they wanted without the concern of others, that is an important pro in having rules. The vast majority of people must follow the rules in order to maintain a civilized society, but there will always be a couple of rebellions. Of course, in the past there have been times where rules have gone too far. People have been confided in what religion they could practice for example; this has resulted to violence. Fortunately the past is in the past and we have learned from our mistakes, but history can repeat itself. Rules teach people many things and refrain people from doing things that are bad. Sometimes rules are not only used for obedience but for guidance and discipline. Rules can only go so far though, there will be people that will try to break them. There are no rules for friendship, that is something we must leave to itself. We cannot force it like forcing love, when power rules love disappears.
