Ten Simple Rules

[Netzach]

All useful, too much to remember. I distill it to this:


He who knows does not speak;
He who speaks does not know.

And rarely live up to it. That's what ideals are for.

 

[FurryFury]

I don't think it was really necessary to quote the whole thing.

Long but interesting.

Do you get that a lot?

[Marquis]

Long but interesting.

Thank you, I worked very hard on it.

 

[Netzach]

Thank you, I worked very hard on it.

It's super cool. It's like "The Tao" meets "The Rules" meets "The Art of War" or something.

Stop, you're embarassing me.

Just a little something I whipped up just for this thread.

And one of these days, I'll learn how to make that an Angelic Assassin-like "Click Me".

Honestly, although these rules are interesting, life for most of us shouldn't be anywhere near this complicated or this much like war, IMO.

The "rules" that have helped me the most are:

Life is not fair or unfair, good or bad, it simply is.

It could always be worse.

Work with what you have.

My beliefs are fairly broad based

# Everyone has personal responsibility for themselves and for those they care about.

# Everyone has the right to be happy, however they achieve it is a personal issue with them, unless it adversely affects those I care about.

# Everyone has the right to fail and still be loved.

# Miracles happen everyday, sometimes we are looking the wrong way when they do.

# Everything happens for a reason, we don't always need to know the reason or understand it; but it fits into the bigger picture somewhere.

# Everyone has a moral responsibility for the other people who inhabit the same planet. Regardless of whether it is the person next door or a small child somewhere else in the world.

# Karma, We reap what we sow, if not now, then later.

And Finally
# Upset someone I love and I can bite you until you scream in metaphorical or physical pain .

I liked the Marquis ' long list of rules , even if there are some which are a bit far from European sensibility .

I liked the Marquis ' long list of rules , even if there are some which are a bit far from European sensibility .

I liked them in abstract. However, as I said if you are not in a war, a world dictator or a reality star, I see no reason for these rules.

I'd rather be real. I'd rather be able to tell those I am close to, what I'm into. I'd rather be able to trust them.

Life shouldn't be that difficult IMO.
