Bend/Break the rules...?

Watched "Guru" a few days ago with the senior generation of the family.

One theme coming from the movie...and has been on my mind many a time... Should one operate within the rules set by external forces (such as the govt) or should one operate as per the rules one sees fit. It is obvious that on many occasions, the government and other rule-setting bodies are neither in touch with the realities (and practicalities) of business nor do they evolve with changing circumstances. Then, should one still continue to operate within archaic rules that restrict growth?

Maybe the answer as usual, is somewhere in between. After all, Gandhi broke the rules during the British rule, but no one views it as a crime. He acted from his own definitions of right and wrong.
So, why shouldnt I in my own spheres of operation?

Hmmmm....
