It is much easier to break rules when you don’t agree…

The danger of not agreeing with rules is that you will likely break them.
When I say "rule," I mean it very generally and loosely. It could be something as simple as, "this assignment is dumb, therefore, I'm not going to do it the proper way." Because you believe it is dumb, it becomes so much easier, almost completely excusable, to simply act on that and break whatever rule.
Other examples: speed limits ("the speed limit should be faster here...")
This isn't always a negative thing. What about people who didn't agree with truly bad rules and went against them? Like during the Holocaust...or martyrs...etc there are many examples, though most of the ones that come to mind are truly tragic and those people suffered for it.
On a same scale, but much smaller and less grand, that's what a Christian has to do anyway. A Christian suffers, not because of the sole fact that they are Christian, but, "with great power comes great responsibility." When you take upon such a grand title as being Christian, you assume a lot of troubles upon yourself. Because it is not just given, or easy, but a wave of troubles you have to navigate. But the difference is that you're trying to do everything the right way, God's way.
