The Ten Qualities

The Ten Qualities
1. You should feel as comfortable with differences as you do with similarities in terms of horizontal feelings -- but not of vertical feelings, such as being superior or inferior.
2. You should not meaure other things or others by only your own standards.
3. You should be able to accept and describe as is both subjectively and objectively. If you can analyze reality thusly, the world will be benefited. Furthermore, if you can predict the future from accurate analyses, you will be lauded.
4. Never impose any idea, ideology, or behavior upon others, nor threaten to do so.
5. Don't judge others on the basis of superficial knowledge or of mere appearances.
6. Constantly strive to broaden and deepen your knowledge of whatever you might encounter.
7. Be sensitive, alert, and considerate towards those you encounter so that they may not feel left out, lonely, or ostracized; but never try to interfere in their affairs; above all, respect their decision-making and privacy unless you are invited to intervene. You should be cognizant of both of these concepts; (a)"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"; (b)"Don't do unto others what you would not have them do unto you."
8. Be creative and constructive, and persist in trying to think up modi operandi to meet the needs of others.
9. Never consciously hurt anyone. Indeed, encourage all human beings not to hurt each other. But if you do or someone else should hurt another by mistake, ensure that said misstep is not repeated.
10. Remember that your point of view is only one -- among a googol of others. There are more points of view than you can possibly contemplate or anticipate. Abandon the notion that you are the center of the universe. Self-centered individuals are abhorred. Esteem the sentiments of those who are quiet, hesitant, and reserved.
