The 12 Commandments.

The 12 commandments:

1.  Live to indulge in maximum happiness, keeping in mind your future happiness and that of others.  Indulgence is not excess.

2.  Help others when it costs you little to, and never hurt them even a little unless it benefits you a lot.

3.  Live openly and honestly with the world around you.  Secrets weaken friendships, aggregate knowledge, interpersonal trust, and humanity.

4.  Do not practice revenge for its own sake.  Neutralize any threat, THEN turn the other cheek.  Everyone deserves mercy, and only humans have the compassion to provide it.

5.  Live with no worry and no regret. Think about what you need to do, and what you can do better next time, but do not involve your emotions.

6.  Maintain friendships and relationships worth having.

7.  Fight viciously for personal freedom, dignity, and the less fortunate.  You as a privileged human are duty-bound to look out for the less-so, and there is little else in the universe worth taking a stand for.

8.  Listen to others, but NEVER let them tell you what to do, say, or think.  MAKE them convince you otherwise.

9.  Do not deceive yourself. Always understand why you think a certain way and be able to change it.

10.  Have pride in NONE of your accomplishments, and if you can't manage that then avoid showing it.  You are dust. You mean NOTHING to the universe, and the universe owes you NOTHING so expect only the worst.

11.  Always look out for the next high, and chase it relentlessly.

12.  Take these with a grain of salt, they are words on a screen.
