"These are the most practical positions in which to urinate on the ground."
Thinking about manifestos made me wonder how much advice and how many "rules" we unnecessarily follow and prioritise. It may be inaccurate to claim that we follow advice blindly or that we cannot judge for ourselves which rules and pieces of advice are sensible and practical and which are not, we may be heavily influenced by tradition and other people when it comes to deciding which pieces of information to prioritise. Other people decide which rules we see everywhere and influence what is repeated to us and what sticks in our heads. There is much that is useful and practical that we hear much less. There are also things which we hear less because they are less useful, but again that is someone else guessing what will or should be most relevant to our lives; they could be wrong.
