How to live
Oct. 13th, 2007 01:34 pmI cribbed this from www.infidels.org , but think they're good rules for everyone:
* There is more to moral behavior than mindlessly following rules.
* Be especially skeptical of positive claims.
* If you want your life to have some sort of meaning, it's up to you to find it.
* Search for what is true, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
* Make the most of your life, as it's probably the only one you'll have.
* It's no good relying on some external power to change you; you must change yourself.
* Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good.
* Assume nothing
* Don't believe things just because you want them to be true.
and finally (and most importantly):
* All beliefs should be open to question.
