On the one hand yes, on the other hand no.
There are significant differences in many cases.
Do you agree with every law out there? Neither do I.
There are a myriad of ways laws come about, especially when politics and interest groups play a part. Many are not enacted by general consensus. Many are out of touch with the times, but difficult to change.
What is interesting, and why I suggested food for thought, is that these rules are never devised by some supreme being, just a fallible human element, that often involves some form of bias or agenda.
Many rules are not static as such, and what might be acceptable one day, may not be the next or vice-a-versa.
Some have a black & white approach and acceptance to rules, while others like to challenge them, and defy them when they feel it is right to do so. It is the second of those two groups, who enact change, who give rise to things like equality and beyond.
That is why we have the saying, that 'rules are meant to be broken' ... or as I would prefer to say it, challenged. And that doesn't happen sitting on the fence.
