These three (3) RULES FOR BEHAVIOR help instruct us how to THINK so as to bear a more deliberative affect to our manners.

They can never supplant the Ten Commandments but with them can help us to lead better lives.

Remember These Three (3) Rules!
 

RULE A:   Do not hate.

Do not needlessly destroy, harm or inflict suffering.

Do not punish when you do not ABSOLUTELY know.

 

RULE B:   Always reflect compassionately and cautiously.

Learn to see yourself in the place of another.

Carefully guard against your own personal foibles. Anything less is IRRESPONSIBILITY.

Granted sufficient time to do so, openly allow for possibilities which you may be overlooking, rather than blindly assuming that how matters may seem are definitely how they practically are.

Behave competently when you know ABSOLUTELY, but frankly and humbly when you do not.

 

RULE C:   Do not fanatically protect self.

Recognize that sometimes the right decision hurts.

Avoid continually focusing your attention solely on protecting self:  Ya’ gotta’ always THINK 'bout others!
