The rules to any domain are the instructions for entering that domain. Only by following the rules can we enter the inner sanctum, know it, and have its beauty revealed. This is the reason we aim for optionality and for the release of any rule other than to always seek for the truth.
Here, we must recognize the rules we feel conflict with are our own.
They are the walls of the labyrinth, built to protect the heart inside. To violate the instructions by imposing our own rules prevents entry and thus prevents knowing. This allows us to maintain uninformed opinions about what lies inside.
