They are more like guidelines, anyway...

1. The truth is right.

2. The truth is universal.
2a. Relativism is negated by contradiction.

3. To each his own.
3a. Judgment is inevitable.
3b. Your way is okay if it's not hurting another. Okay does not mean right.

4. One must strive not to be hypocritical in all action, thought, and intention.

5. A person's ability to change relies on an existing potential to change.
5a. Some people are just screwed.
5b. A person can only change for himself.

6. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
6a. Don't ever expect this in return- you will never get what you think you deserve this way.

7. Expectations set the stage for disappointment and lay the foundation for a worrisome and stressful life. They can make you demanding and bitter.
7a. This is exhausting.
7b. This is illogical- everyone wants to be happy.

8. Second chances are debatable, very often untimely, and highly situation dependent.

9. Emotions can complicate the truth- always be weary of cognitive dissonance to avoid such complications.
9a. The truth, very often, hurts, a lot.
9b. Denial is not a better way. Ignorance is not bliss. These things catch up with you.

10. It is important to take the time to do things that are good for your soul (and by soul I mean your personal energy and your mind; your general sense of self).
10a. Poetry is good for the soul.
10b. Chocolate is good for the soul.
10c. Acoustic guitar is good for the soul.
10d. Laughter is great for the soul.
10e. Chicken soup is debatable (couldn't resist, haha).

11. Accept yourself within the context of your abilities and your limitations. This is you, truly. And this is okay.

Now bring me that horizon...
