Why we break the rules?

We drive on footpath sometime. We don’t obey traffic signals sometime. We park in wrong place sometime. Not only traffic rules, we don’t separate wet / dry garbage at home. We break the queue and find shortcut etc etc…

We are all fairly educated, well disciplined, social concerned and obviously civilized citizens of the country. We know the rules are made for us only and to make our life easy. Usually we don’t wish to disobey any rules.

But why? Why do we do so? Are we doing it purposefully? Some of us sometimes may not be but most of the times;

Traffic is so much, roads are under construction. Even we start early enough considering traffic jam time; we can’t reach in time which is really critical for us. We will drive on footpath!

We will cross the signal even we can see red and risk our life when we see the empty road in all other three sides, still it is red & making us wait since signals are automated!

We park in front of a medical shop at no parking & going to buy a tablet quickly when nearest parking is half a kilometer away, for that you will have to cross a signal, take a ‘U’ turn in a very busy road & do the same exercise again when you need to start back!

We get some food from hotel late night, which is packed in plastic sheets/cover, we consumed a half, and want to put the remaining to the garbage bin as we are done, do we separate wet & dry? No! In fact not even later in the morning, because, we pay for the person collecting the garbage & even we paid tax to BBMP! In front of us someone who troughs garbage in a roadside & who does the wet & dry separation for that?  We ask why I should do. Should we do it since we manage garbage bin to protect the street clean & we pay for collecting it?

I am standing since one and a half hour in the queue, but the person came now in front of me, got it done and moving out smiling at me! We break queue.

…and so on. What is common? Not only the vehicles are increased, we are not provided with the good wide road with fluent moving lanes which is construction free. No scientifically managed signals. No expert & driver friendly COPs. If it is for the traffic management, story will be different with garbage management.  Many more different stories, with many more other different things also. These are just the glimpses and severe things are lot many other.   

But, to observe here is, we are not doing it purposefully but our infrastructure, our system or our rules are not providing us the justice. Lack of justice makes people loose respect for the law. Not to claim that breaking the rules/laws are fine but if we focus on public interest & justice before insist the rules, considerably the rules breakers will be reduced. How do you say?
