[InOne]

Do you have one that you live by and stick to? For example you might follow the golden rule and treat others as you wish to be treated. Or think it's every man for themselves and always get revenge or something

*ponders mine*

[Niamh.]

I think treat others the way you would like to be treated is good one, I try to live by that one

But what about if others don't want to be treated the way you would want to be treated

you can't go far wrong with this one as a guideline

Not that I always apply it in time.

Yeah, I agree. If we all treated others how we would like to be treated it would be a fairly pleasant life.

Also I believe in always trying to see good in people.

[CharlieO]

I know it sounds all negative but I try as hard as I can to live not expecting anything positive from anyone and expecting disappointment so I don't get let down.
Just I always give more than people are prepared to give back so I just expect disappointment.

[Ammi]

I try to understand other people's point of view, even if I don't agree with it and I don't spend time worrying about things I can't change

[King Gizzard]

Pretty decent..I don't buy that ''eye for an eye'' crap

[Braden]

I always say to myself, 'If you don't have nothing nice to say, then don't say it all'. But then I get people telling me that i'm the biggest bitch going.

Yes this One is Bad News

[GypsyGoth]

I try to be dignified. I try to treat others with respect. And I try to make the best choices I can.

[Angus]

I always treat people as I would wish to be treated, initially. If, however, they do me or mine harm I don't subscribe to the "turn the other cheek" crap - my motto is "don't get mad, get even". It's called Justice, a concept it seems that is anathema to the judicial system these days, bearing in mind the soft sentences and downright perverse decisions made by out of touch judges living in their ivory towers instead of the real world that most of us have to inhabit.

This is my moral code..

Spoiler:

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

My moral code/s?

• Treat everyone with respect until they show you a good enough reason to lose that respect - and when they do - by hell....it's a long way up to earn it back.
• Trust no one but yourself.
• Never suffer fools gladly but never lose the ability to forgive and move on.
• If someone has a negative impact on you or your life: get rid.
• Always be aware that until you have walked in someone else's shoes: you really have no real idea.

It's called Desiderata and it was written by Max Herman in the 20s. Hippies in the 70s made it popular and used to hand it out in posters form. I have it framed in ny hall and read it almost every day.

Look at the bright side: cleaning up your own sick will keep you off tibbs for a very short while.

See.....every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

Don't be so negative Mr. Trumpet

[ILoveTRW]

Don't let anyone get in the way of your life, do what you want and if it hurts someone else who cares.

[Lee.]

Bogus how?

Pass to the left.
