Rules
In the working environment there are rules, hopefully for safety as an important one but there are many other reasons as well. There are laws (which are basically rules) that one must follow for driving, preparing taxes, consultations, raising a family, cooking, religious beliefs and the list goes on.Some people follow the rules and don't deviate from black and white, some are just rule breakers with no consideration to others.
I've always lived in the gray area especially when preparing income taxes. Some would call my thoughts for claiming a deduction as bending the rules - I called it creative financing so to speak. I had to protect my client from over paying taxes to a government that doesn't take care of us. I would, if audited stand by my point of view differing from the IR S'w pov. I could lose a case but I never did except once in an employment dispute. I lost but the rule I bent was more on a moral dilemma - the guy that won was a crook and my client, the employer, was a loyal taxpayer. The fricking crook won and cost me my flawless winning streak.
It would be wise for housemates to have rules to make things run smooth. It worked well for me but we both bent the rules without annoying our mate once we understood the reasoning.
I guess some people live without thinking about rules. I found that in my life Goals was my most important tool for myself and rules often made my life easier. I've also been known to breaks rules if I don't agree with them - which is rare but I will stand by my heart over a rule.

If you set boundaries both parties - in relationships, in business, in taxes - know where the line is and know when they are crossing it.
Rules are rules!
But sometimes We have to act like one eye is closed.
To reduce conflicts for peace of mind / for the satisfaction of both parties (must be gray) as an accountant In order to submit taxes to the Revenue Department.
Entrepreneurs need to have 2 accounts, one of which is real income and the other part is the income shown to the Revenue Department for recognition.
Sometimes customers have a need for "Over Bills" in the account, need to keep part of the income to support
Or what do you think?(smile)
Shared responsibility and respect for each other.

Rule breaking came into my mind for the situation of living alone. Do I still have rules? Why yes I do and I'm okay with bending or breaking them when I do. However in the big picture I have to give "goals" and "rules" as the foot stone for me to be able to live this life I'm loving.
