Interrupt Rule

Every family has an unwritten rule that keeps the peace. Interrupt Rule is that rule, written down.

At heart, this rule says: decide once, and stop re-deciding. Every fresh decision costs energy and invites excuses. A rule already decided is a friend who has packed your bag while you were arguing.

It is worth keeping in your pocket not because it is always right, but because it is always available. A tool you carry beats a perfect tool you left at home.

Consider the railway porter who has carried ten thousand suitcases. He knows what nobody packs: a plan for what happens after arrival.

In the end, life asks only whether we were awake while it happened. A word is a lamp. This one is now yours to carry.
