THE ETHICS
Ethics Have Been A Guiding Light
Since The Beginning Of Organised Society.
The ethics presented here have been selected and expressed in a suitable way for contemporary life in a manner that is practical and applicable to anyone. They are a guide to live a life to be proud of.
The numbers are merely to aid in discussion making it easier to find which ethic we are referring to. Other than the first ethic, which we deem to be the most valuable, all ethics are equally important and can be practiced in any order.
1. Accept Full Responsibility for Everything in Your Life
Take responsibility for everything that happens in your life, the good and bad.
2. Harm No One Intentionally
If you harm anyone accidentally in any way, do whatever you can to correct it at all costs.
4. Honour Your Word
A person’s true value is calculated by the degree to which they keep their word.
6. Value Time, Yours and Other People’s
Time is the only thing in the universe that no matter where we look, once lost, can never be found. Always be early or on time for every appointment, personal or business. Making people wait is a subliminal statement saying you are more important than they are so they can wait for you. Do you like to be kept waiting?
7. Reflect on Yourself
Find the true cause of others’ opinion of you and you will know what to change in yourself.
9. Be Flexible in Your Heart and Mind
You do not know everything. Be open minded and learn at all times.
10. Do What Is In Front Of You
If something will not be a detriment to your life, either at the moment or in the long term future, just do it immediately.
12. Everything Exists Only Because Of Its Opposite
One attains any quality by eliminating its opposite quality.
17. Beware Not To Take Portions Out Of A Sentence
Watch that you don’t select words only to prove your point.
22. Do Not Correct Others And Never Try To Show Someone Else Is Wrong
Your words, even if you think are well intended, must be carefully measured.
23. You May Love To Talk, But Not Everyone Wants To Listen
Be attentive to listen more, allowing other people the pleasure of speaking and hold yourself back.
24. Do Not Make Anyone Conform To Your Desires
To make restrictions on anyone removes their free will and you would not want anyone to remove your free will.
25. Do The Best You Can
Do the best you can do at any task for the sake of simply doing the best you can.
26. Words Spoken To You In Anger Or Attack Are Empty, All Your Emotional Pain Is Self-inflicted
You have the choice of how you interpret things so that they hurt you or have no effect.
28. Question The Validity When You Hate Or Are Angry About Something
Hate is a learnt habitual reaction.
29. Love Everyone And Every Living Thing Equally
Be kind to animals and people especially those less fortunate than yourself.
30. See Things From Other People’s Point Of View
Allow each person to have their opinion and only then do you have a right to have your own.
31. There Should Be No Religions, No Races, No Cultures, No Politics, Or Gender Rules
You live your way and let others live theirs.
33. ‘Everything Happens For A Reason’ Is A Lie
You can make something good out of everything that happens if you find a way by seeing it objectively.
34. You Do Not Need A Book Or A Religious Leader
There is really only one book one must read, and that book is placed in your heart.
35. The World Is Not Fair
This is not a good world where the just triumph or the good get what they deserve. So accept the reality that everything is by chance and you will not get so disappointed if things don’t work out.
36. Ask Yourself These Five Questions Each Night Before Going To Sleep
Reflect on your actions of the day by asking yourself these five questions without regret or self indulgence.
