I'm not claiming I adhere perfectly to these principles but it's my goal anyway. Like everyone else, I’m a work in-progress and have developed this code over the years. These are in no particular order.
Don't hurt people or bother their stuff.
Do not initiate violence but protect yourself, your loved ones, and any other living being that needs it by whatever means is available.
Be kind to animals. Even if you eat them, give them a good life and a peaceful death.
Tell the truth.
Keep your word.
Be kind and help people.
Stand up for what is right.
Fulfill your responsibilities.
Some of those may be redundant. Everything else that comes to mind is covered by one or more of the above.
Who, what, where, how, and whether a person worships;
What other people think about;
What a person chooses to read or watch on TV;
What consenting adults do sexually;
How a person medicates and recreates;
What a person eats or drinks;
What words a person chooses to use;
...those things are personal preferences and have nothing to do with morality.
Earthchild has spoken. As always, I welcome your comments.
