Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Don't start no shite, won't be no shite.

Lesson 2

The world is full of assholes. You'll have to deal with them, but it doesn't mean you have to be an a-hole.

Treat others as you would like to be treated...while fully protecting yourself.

You cannot teach morality without teaching religion.

In the absence of God, all morality is relative and subject to the whims of the majority at the time.

In short, there is no right and wrong if we are all just animals, there's just survival.

Do you remember the Sabbath, and keep it Holy?

ETA: 6 downvotes for following one of God's Commandments?

Buncha savages up in here.

I'm sorry to tell you Chicken but today's politically correct society is now referring to those as the Ten Suggestions....

The first thing you have to teach your children is that this world they are born into is a miracle that is worth saving. Never let them view things as ordinary, grey, and a given. Before you teach children how to make good decisions, you need to teach them WHY this world is worth being maintained by moral behavior.
quote:


“Sometimes, of a spring evening, Papa would hear that distant honking that always makes his scalp tingle, and we would all rush out to see the geese, in lines of hundreds, steer up from the southwest, turn over the barn as over a landmark, and head into the north. Or on autumn nights of sudden cold that set the ewes breeding in the orchard, Papa would call you out of the house to stand with him in the now celebrated pumpkin patch and watch the northern lights flicker in electric clouds on the horizon, mount, die down, fade and mount again till they filled the whole northern sky with ghostly light in motion.

“Thus, as children, you experienced two of the most important things men ever know—the wonder of life and the wonder of the universe, the wonder of life within the wonder of the universe. More importantly, you knew them not from books, not from lectures, but simply from living among them. Most important, you knew them with reverence and awe—that reverence and awe that has died out of the modern world and has been replaced by man’s monkeylike amazement at the cleverness of his own inventive brain…..

“I have great silent thanks to God. For I knew that if, as children, you could thus feel in your souls the reverence and awe for life and the world, which is the ultimate meaning of Beethoven and Shakespeare, as a man and woman you could never be satisfied with less.”

Life on this earth is temporary; our destination will be forever. Decisions/ choices have consequences.

Before you take any action, ask yourself how it will affect others, and consider the answer to that question in deciding whether to act.

You need not necessarily act against your best interest OR fail to act IN your best interest, but ALWAYS take the time to consider how others might be affected.
