Once you come to understand something... A philosophy, an idea, a rule or even just a clever axiom or life lesson. Do you feel that because you suffered over it, and know it well enough, that gives you the right to break it?
and if others around you are not as aware or have not done the work toward understanding it, does that mean they do not have the right to break said rule or philosophy axiom or clever life lesson if they do not first understand it or have suffered to know it?
Just something I was wondering loosely based on the premise behind the large yellow bead at the end of a strand of prayer beads. When the strand breaks... The lesson is learned.
Get it?

Like with Newton... He broke molds and re thought history... But even in all his wisdom, he wasn't right. But he challenged and re worked, he broke molds, thought and life and physics!
Then Einstein (among others) came along and first understood him... (which is a feat unto itself) then broke him apart and turned what was, into something else by first holding on and then letting go.
Breaking the beads so to speak... Get it?

If you actually struggled to attain it you would never consider breaking it. It would be to precious to you.
It would be a sin against your self.

Not only understanding and knowledge give someone the right to break the learned pattern - there has to be, in that person, a strong idea, a strong and purposeful igniting power that would then have the power to replace the old. Everything that was ever created from ones stream of thought, from an idea, in case it survives the judgment of time, has that essence. And many new-creators forget that this essence and mere understanding is not closely the same.
I believe that you ment that one can only learn something once he overcomes it. I'm just saying that, although this may be truth, it must not be an imperative!
For the second case, I can say that, when a person which does not have a good understanding of some pattern breaks it, it can only turn out bad, either for the pattern-breaker, either for someone (something) around him. Unfortunately, that has happened trough history, and, in some cases (like modern arts), we can see some negative sides of it.

If the rule is good it's because it works on Earth--it's therefore moral, and ethical to perform and good advice that you can give someone else as to how to proceed.
As to breaking such a "law" of science, you should not have to do so--if it's what works you need to follow it.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter who says it, nor who recommends it etc.--it's a bad idea. Who wants to practice a bad idea?

The only reason people do things that are inappropriate is because they are ignorant of all of the ramifications of that behavior. [There are no such things as good & bad, only varying degrees of ignorance.]
Once a person knows, (learns), all of the overt & covert, direct & indirect, subjective & objective ramifications that result from an inappropriate action, they are no longer tempted to do it.
However, knowing is much more than being aware that a behavior is illegal or socially unacceptable.

Indeed, after such suffering and scincere searching,
you would not allow yourself to dishonour such a valuable thing found.
lest it would prove you have not truley understood what it was for,.. or simply, misunderstood it in a different way, say your own.

Well, yes. But I think in most cases you would actually be LESS likely to break it since you have mastered it.

I cant break ideas. Possibilities have always been possibilities. I'm never going to deny that.

Why would you break it when you finally understand it. Nonsense!
... But if someone else told you what to understand ... use your own mind. It's obvious that you have one!
Wow,
