I think the formulation of rules should vary from person to person. Different people have different attitudes and methods, so I don't think there is an accurate answer to this question.

In my life, I met a person who denied himself and followed the rules. Since I met him, he has never been late or left early, and he has never violated the rules and regulations once. No matter when he was a student or at work, he was especially liked by leaders and teachers. For him, rules are the trajectory of his life. If he crosses the trajectory, he won't let himself go. However, such people are more suitable for doing some mechanical work.

In life, there are such a group of people who are fed up with the rules and never follow them. Their life is in a mess. He hates all the rules in school. They stepped into the society, touched the bottom line of the law, violated the laws of society, and finally went astray.

There are also a group of people whose wisdom is stupid. They are good at using rules on the basis of observing them. In some cases, they will obey the rules better than anyone else, but in some cases, they are good at breaking the rules. They are not people who blindly follow the rules or have a pure life track, but people who are often good at breaking the rules, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the rules and finally using them.

So, if you want to say whether the rules are for obeying or breaking, I think the best answer is that it is the most ideal state to obey the rules and finally break them through your subjective judgment.
