Rules to live by

[Mirren]

What rules in your life have you made for yourself to never deviate from?

1. Never date a man who hates his mother.
2. Realize nothing is ever a sure thing.
3. Hold fast to your true friends.
4. Live and let live.
5. Make time for myself.
6. Don't put off telling people how I feel about them today. I may not have the chance tomorrow.
7. Never trust a man who says he wants to "go lie in bed and watch tv."

[inox]

1.) Be loyal to your friends and loved ones
2.) Trust to the fates, but make your own luck
3.) Punish and reward intent, not just results
4.) Never be controlled by fear
5.) Introspect enough to be able to choose paths in life where there's true affinity
6.) Pursue your dreams even when (and especially when) they seem like a bad idea

[One Eyed Cat]

1. Loyalty is the only operative word in any true friendship
2. Family trumps all other concerns
3. May your reach always far extend your grasp (until they meet as one)
4. Embrace the darkness and the light
5. Fight the wise fight to the end (admit to and end the lesser battles)
6. Never let go
7. Be thankful the Orthodox need never repent

Sheramil..you are just one big compendium of intelligent perception and knowledge. I've been absent from the boards for a while due to a move..but wow.

[Nudemuse]

I'm a big hardass on myself about a few rules.

1.)I will not bullshit myself. If I find I'm having some delusion or other I will quickly berid myself of it.

~The downside to that is I am very very hard on myself and sometimes it gets out of hand. Hempknight puts up with a lot.

2.)Never -ever- sublimate my passions or anything about who I am,to or for anything.

3.)I make a point to be empathetic towards other people before I let myself be upset with them.

[Camby Savelle]

it's not that i don't see the value in it, i just don't like the idea of setting rules for myself. i just try to make the best desicions i can when they're placed infront of me and worry about the end result when the end happens.

...you know, i once told frank miller that i lived by the rules he laid out in 'elektra: assassin'. he told me that he was frightened, and tried to walk away...

on the other hand, the new rule i'm currently integrating-

i never pass up an oppertunity to keep my fucking mouth shut.

b) if it doesn't hurt anyone else, then go right ahead.
