1. To Communicate: (Be in verbal
contact; an interchange of information or ideas) Communicate more with your
family and friends. Don’t just talk AT
them - in other words, don’t make the only time you talk to them is to
complain.
2. To Not invalidate* Anyone. Refusing to contribute in communication with
a person is also a form of invalidation, as though they are not worth talking
to or not worth actually answering a question of theirs (regarding them not
worth acknowledging, their communications or even their help)
(*Invalidate: to put someone
down; regard a person as less than what they are, regarding them as not
important or not truthful).
3 To Grant Everyone “beingness” (Respecting
an individual as a person with the same right to exist as you). You have a human “being” in front of you. Treat them as important as you regard
yourself.
4 To Respect The Religious
Beliefs Of Others. The only reason
people attack religions is because they are ignorant of those religions and
invent untruths or twist facts in order to attack. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel if someone you never met or
only met briefly told lies about you or twisted facts to invalidate you and make
you look bad in people’s eyes? Remember,
even Buddhism and Agnosticism are regarded as religious beliefs - they may not
have a god to prey to, but they believe in themselves, their abilities and have
a moral code - which is much more important.
5 To Not Be Friends Or Associate
With Criminals Or Wrongdoers or go into agreement with their crimes. People with no moral compass and no honesty
boast about their crimes and try to pull you into their criminal world by
trying to get you to agree that their crimes like lying, cheating, stealing, disrespecting,
hacking, bullying and violence is okay. Besides,
being friends with criminals and wrongdoers puts your life and your freedom at
stake 95% of the time.
6 To Be Responsible For The
Honesty Of Others. If a friend is
dishonest or violent, the buck stops with you!
Tell them it is NOT okay, and teach them to be honest and not violent;
in thought, word or deed.
7 To Safeguard And Improve Your
Environment. This applies to yourself,
your family, your friends, your town or city and even your social networking
like Facebook and Twitter. Get involved
with others doing the same.
8 To Fulfill Your Obligations. You don’t like someone dropping the ball, so
don’t do it to others. This includes
your obligations to yourself. You may
enjoy helping out others by using your talents and abilities, but if you are
doing it for free you are robbing yourself and allowing the person you are
working for to rob you. You are in
effect telling the person you are working for that your talents, knowledge and
ability are worthless.
9 To Take Responsibility For Your
Actions. This means being the cause of
your actions, being accountable and not blaming others for your difficulty or
even your abilities. A person who lacks
the ability to be responsible is often heard to say “You made me do it” and
“Look what you made me do?” Since they
don’t believe they have an ability to cause things and don’t believe they
themselves exist, they have to assign that cause to someone or something else
other them themselves. When THEY win a
swimming race, instead of taking responsibility for all the training they did
that helped them win, they assign the cause of their win to God or someone else. When something goes wrong, instead of taking
responsibility for THEIR lack of planning or lack of knowledge, they blame the
cat, God, their physics professor... anyone but themselves. That’s not taking responsibility or exerting
influence on their environment, but being an effect of their own cause.
10 In fact, go further and treat
people the way YOU would want to be treated and don’t do to others what you
don’t want done to you.
