Why do sports have so many RULES? Details and details of details. I saw the NBA rule book. Memorizing that is like - lihavdil - trying to memorize Mishna Brura Hilchos Shabbos. So many details and different scenarios. It is just a GAME for crying out loud!!!馃槀馃槀
Answer: Life requires rules. Even games.
People who want to live w/o rules end up paying a heavy price. That is the story of the dor hamabul, the story of many periods in Jewish history where the Navi says things like 讘ַּ讬ָּ诪ִ讬诐 讛ָ讛ֵ诐 讗ֵ讬谉 诪ֶ诇ֶ讱ְ 讘ְּ讬ִ砖ְׂ专ָ讗ֵ诇 讗ִ讬砖ׁ 讛ַ讬ָּ砖ָׁ专 讘ְּ注ֵ讬谞ָ讬讜 讬ַ注ֲ砖ֶׂ讛 and the story of how so many people in our generation want to live.
Rules are good and necessary for a fully functioning society and for a healthy disciplined life.
