"世の中で最も重大な犯罪は規則を破る人々によって犯されるのではなく規則に従う人々によって犯される"
— George Carlin
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, big wrongdoings happen not because people disobey the rules, but because they follow them without questioning. Imagine a worker at a factory who sees that the machines are unsafe, but he keeps using them because the rules say he has to. If someone gets hurt because of those machines, the harm wasn't caused by breaking rules but by sticking to them without thinking. During times of war, soldiers might do terrible things because their leaders order them to, not because they wanted to break laws. Similarly, someone might see unfair treatment at work but stay quiet because the company rules say not to speak up. This quote teaches us to think for ourselves about what is right or wrong and not blindly follow rules if they lead to harm or injustice.
