Some people upon being critiqued on their character are heard to respond, "It's my life! I do with it whatever I want!" Well, point made. But upon cross-checking this statement, questions linger: Is it really your life? Can you really do with it whatever you want?

There are no steady guidelines. Rules are convenient. Even when spirituality is convenient, you will clap your hands and sing Halleluiah!
