Rules are meant to be broken....

Or so I think that they should be. Especially when it comes to the heart. The heart does not come with rules so why should it abide by them? You may be asking yourself why am I delving into this subject, or not. I was out last night doing my usual Friday night ritual of socializing ; ) and in my constant vigil of people watching, a small little drama arose. We all know when drama arises it usually originates from some type of overemphasized emotion. The drama was small in comparison to other drama that I have been in or been witness to. Alright let me get to the point....A girlfriend of mine that is in the military and an officer likes another man in the military but is not an officer and they both ran into each other last night. I guess in the military world there is a big taboo of not dating under your rank. They had gone out before and the guy was "counseled" about cavorting with an officer. Is it just me but isn't this a little archaeic in thought? Now my girlfriend really likes this guy but has to limit herself and her heart to just that. She would be shunned from the institution in which is her livelihood if she were to pursue her heart. I am not saying that there is a huge love affair going on here but what if he was the "one" and she would never be able to have the chance to know. I think that's a shame. I know we have the same type of hierachy in the civilian world where we are not supposed to date or cavort with bosses if we are employees and vice versa but it happens everyday. In our world today, where do most of us spend the most of our time? At work. So it's natural to possibly find love or the possibility of love in the place that you spend the majority of your time. Really, is there proof of workplace love and dating on different status levels as being detrimental to the workplace? Should people really be punished for following their natural emotional instincts? I think it's a travesty but that's my opinion and after last night I don't think it's a popular opinion. Or so I was told by the military officers I was out with last night. You know I have to bring up some type of drunken debate before the end of the night ; ) I say life is too short so live it to the fullest.....Well enough of my random thoughts...Still miss everyone : (
