Q: Why do I hate authority so much?
A: This question previously had details. They are now in a comment.
It’s not natural for some people to have “authority” over other people. Anyone with a strong or at least independent spirit doesn’t want to be ruled over and to have to obey the commands of other people, it’s almost like a kind of mini-death. I read once that the soul naturally opposes all forms of restriction.
By doing something random you upset the flow of the scenario the system and authorities set up where everything is orderly and is easily controlled and accords nicely with their will. Doing something overtly against the rules is something you automatically recognize as being self-defeating because ultimately they have more power than you, but a nice clever way to subvert them is just to jam the order and predictability of things to evade their control or sense of control, without doing anything that’s overtly against the rules and therefore not giving them justification to punish you, but nonetheless frustrating them because it seems like the situation is out of their totalitarian control.
Frustrating or angering them this way satisfies you because you yourself are frustrated by their constantly imposing limitations on you, and/or because it asserts and illuminates or brings to the surface your inner will/spiritual light and inherent power over them (to the degree that you have it), the power you have through the inherent open-endedness of life and everything, the infinite abundance of possibilities for routes through the cracks of and around their cold, rigid, unnatural system.
