Life for life’s sake;
No matter how hopeless you feel.
No matter how dismal the future looks.
No one knows what the future will bring.
Do what you need to do to stay alive.
The rules are made up;
Rules are made up for a reason. At some point someone thought every rule would be helpful. Because a rule was once deemed to be useful does not mean that it has to be followed or that it is even still necessary. Evaluate rules to see if you agree with their intent and their expected effect and then decide if you will follow them. The problem with rules is that they are written. When rules are part of an oral tradition they can more easily change. They can fade away as they become nonviable.
Laws are always the same and are always obeyed;
You will always obey the natural laws of time, physics, gravity, motion, chemistry, etc. You have no choice. If you have a choice then it is not a law of nature and it is a rule that was made up. It is a belief.
Beliefs are not laws and beliefs are not absolute.
And beliefs do not have to be obeyed;
If you do not differentiate between what you believe, and laws that are absolutely true, you are one of the throngs of people who cause and perpetuate the vast majority of the strife, terror and pain that has been and continues to be part of our daily life.
Believing in absolute good includes believing in absolute evil;
Acting on a belief in absolute evil violates rights. Behavior that does not exist in the hearts and minds does not exist in the real world.
You have a choice; You can ‘Ohm-m-m’ and smile and proceed or
You can ‘Gr-r-r-r’ and frown and see where it gets you.
Morality is personal;
No two people use the same set of beliefs to define what is right and what is wrong. Individual as well as crowed behavior is controlled by a multi layered mechanism where right and wrong overlap.
In units of humanity;
There is nothing a single individual can accomplish. You do not even exist if you do not interact with others. You only exists for a reason if what you do is acknowledged. You may be able to change yourself and that change may effect others but it is far more likely that you will remain the same and struggle to be the most compassionate person you can be with little or no effect on anyone. And that is all I ask.
Enjoy!
