Your distinction between rules & guidelines is not clear. Nor is it clear why the need for either prevents a society from being authentic. [Ham] > An individual would have everyone else's well-being at heart. Why would "having everyone else's well-being at heart" make rules or guidelines unnecessary? I have everyone else's well-being at heart (& my own); that's why the rule "drive on the correct side of the road" is necessary.
