| Officialdom

|
Every country with an institutionalized
officialdom has its share of some
necessary
and many unnecessary regulations.
Every visitor, at some time or
another,
will meet up against it. That is how the dice rolls.
What should one
do?
ACCEPT THAT THE BUREAUCRAT IS RIGHT
He knows more about the matter at hand that you do. He'd been doing it. He
knows how it is to be done and not done. He knows what is allowed and not
allowed. For every argument of yours he has one to better it. Don't argue. There
is a maxim: 'The bureaucrat is always right especially when he is wrong.' Accept
it.
OBSERVE REGULATIONS
One course to follow to get out of the way of the bureaucrat is to observe
the regulations however irksome or irrational. If you don't know what they mean,
ask him. He might be pleased. On the other hand, he might be irritated. You
can't win. You see what I mean?
