broke one rule.. another rule Okay..

There are many rules created by and followed by every individual in a small team, an organization, social community in a country, even the world, for various good purposes, which usually depend on individual perceptions on fairness. Therefore, if one broke one rule consciously or not, instantly will think that's fine because of reasons one may provide. Yes, I did, just break one rule lately (2 days ago)! Considering myself a principle-centered person (but not blind rules-follower) with occasional exception, particularly in recent days I found out.. nonetheless, do very strict on critical rules like in the road traffic, which is like life-death circumstances and because it would definitely waste of time, energy, mood, health, and money (of both sides) even if in a non-serious car accident happens to encounter. Careful..

Anyway, coming back to the topic, which is unnecessary to know the superficial story of basket-ball playing, but instead, the rational behind (maybe because I'm a scientist). Breaking one rule but under another rule, it was acceptable! Thus, it was FINE.. It happened against me too in another case, and I felt like, not fair.. but then, hey, it was quite reasonable. So, I accepted and hence a new rule was "born". Guess this is how a rule is generated, and others are expected to accept. In recent new case, perhaps, I became the rule-maker.. And, what is more complicated and sometimes confusing is that people define about fairness differently while expecting everybody have the same on a similar set of rules. Well.. Do obey the rules (rationally).. So, what the law says?
