“What would a football field be like if there were no sidelines, no end zones, no yard markers? What if the goal posts were moved in the middle of the game? What would basketball be like if the court had no boundaries and the player dribbling the ball had no limitations? What would keep him from into the bleacher section? Who would say he needed to make a basket to score? What would a track meet be like? Who would determine the winners in a race if the officials threw away their stopwatches and turned their backs on the runners? Without life's rules - that is, without universally acknowledged truths - there is no form, no function, no way to prefer one kind of action or outcome over another. ”
