My Ten commandments

My ten commandments> in addition to the other more famous ten commandments

1. Embrace pain and misfortune, good or bad experiences, as well as life or death. All have lessons for us to learn and therefore grow. Know that Nature will give a balance in the end.

2. Have and show love for all beings. Even the ‘unlovely’ ones.

3. Have freedom from reactions by utilizing logic and reflection and always follow the natural sense of things.

4. Be objective and show clear sight and judgment as often as possible with the information at hand.

5. See the natural order of things and rely on that natural harmony with courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom.

6. Examine one's own judgments and behavior and determine where they have diverged from the universal reason of nature. Ask myself if I did the right thing, not just the easy thing.

7. Be in the moment; devote time and energy to spirituality and the afterlife.

8. Remember Marcus Aurelius and Boethius and Seneca:
Say to yourself in the early morning:
" I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together..."
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
"If you work at that which is before you, following right reason seriously, vigorously, calmly, without allowing anything else to distract you, but keeping your divine part pure, as if you were bound to give it back immediately; if you hold to this, expecting nothing, but satisfied to live now according to nature, speaking heroic truth in every word which you utter, you will live happy. And there is no man able to prevent this."
"The point is, not how long you live, but how nobly you live."
“That which Fortune has not given, she cannot take away.”
"Let Nature deal with matter, which is her own, as she pleases; let us be cheerful and brave in the face of everything, reflecting that it is nothing of our own that perishes.”
"Virtue is nothing else than right reason."

9. Be a citizen of the world, never limit my vision to my small location on this earth.
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."

10. Devote time and energy to eliminating ignorance in order to serve others.
