life principles

Do you have any strong life principles and beliefs that you do not violate under any circumstances? a kind of personal code of ethics. Do you want to share it here?
I believe that this set of principles and values shows who you are and who you are not.

Do not lie to me, do not steal from me
and how do you implement this principle? if a person lied to you or stole from you?
Salamuna, I don't think I have any but I'd love to hear yours. wine
I am accountable for my decisions and actions, taking responsibility for their consequences and learning from any mistakes.wine drinking
One) Don't wanna kill. That one is strong, even if it's a dilemma when say a home intruder start raping your wife in front of you and you have a 38 in your back pocket. Instinct then is kill kill kill, so it's a difficult one.
Two) never had a need to gather a large numbers of bed partners. Actually the fewer the better. However there is no rule without exception. So I may do that one nighter once in a seldom moon after all.
Three) I think I decided (in my youth) on the policy of truth (like in the DM song).
And yea that has cost some on occasion.

Hmm .... not sure what else.

Now can you entertain us with yours?
That what blogging is supposed to be about:
telling not just asking.

I have a lot of them. 1. I don’t like lies and dishonesty in all areas of life. That’s why, for example, I never date men who are not free.
2. I must have a clear division of people around into friends, enemies and just acquaintances. This is probably why I have few real friends whom I really trust.
3.The word Love can only be used if you really love it. otherwise it should be replaced with the word like.
4. I believe that evil must always be punished. At any cost.
5. I never promise to do something if I’m not sure that I can do it, but if I promise, I always keep my promise.
6.I believe that you need to get away from toxic people in your life.
I think that's enough for now, although there are many more
That s not bad. I am hardly learning from my own mistakes. That s why I repeat them..maybewave
So your principles are flexible wave
Hopefully, this is high on everyone's list:

Don't steal from others.
Right, a bit flexible. Cos you know at age 20 you think life is gonna be a walk along a straight line and few dilemmas.
Later in life you find that there is more dilemmas than you aprechiate but you need to roll some with the punches. So.. do I even have one principle in life that is a 100% absolute... confused
Well I'm not sure. As I said its' very imortant for me not to take another human beings life.
A stronger wish / principle / hope.
And still I wonder if I can live up to it if pushed in a corner,
with only one way out: murder.
So I have to draw this conclusion:
you can have 'principles' but is it more than mere life rules you wish to keep?
Let's hope we'll be strong enough to do what we wanna do
in that pressured moment.
How many times in life have you been ashamed cos you couldn't be more principle fast when you think you should have. It as happened to more more than once.
I still love myself though hehe. You need to forgive yourself in life. And others too.

Love. Forgive. Sleep.
Repeat.

Let me adjust that to strong (wish / principle / hope.)
There is a minor difference between stronger and strong.
What I'm trying to say is that to me this is the worst thing I could do in life.
And yet could I keep to it- in a tight spot?
I hope so.
Salamuna I walk away from them and completely cut them out of my life.
Maybe I lived by the 16 Commandments. Does that count? I can't remember them now though.
What aan emotional speech. I like it. But Unlike you, my principles have not changed compared to who I was at 20 years old. Apparently this is how I was raised in my family, which I love.
and yes, I know that I need to learn to forgive, but I don’t know how.. Je suis désolé so out of three words love forgive sleep, the only thing close to me is love wave
I wish I could do the same. Because it s a right thing, Emmy
Sure it does, Merlot, if you really lived by all 16 .. maybe you can't remember them all, but you can feel them.isnt it?wave
Do it, it took me a long time to just walk away but wow my life is much better now.
‘Why Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow‘

I’m a procrastinator, that’s why laugh
Yes, I have to do this. just often the feeling of pity dominates. but we have to love ourselves. no other way on the way to wow life wave
Lifelong Principle # 16: Avoid pointless arguments at all costs...
But then along came blogging, and that one flew out the window.
Lifelong Principle # 17: Never finish all the books on the bedside shelf
(if you do, the light of life will extinguish)
May I ask what's your Lifetime Principle #1 then?
Ah, that could bring a lot of stress in your life. Wish you luckwave
You’re right, it does and very often Art gotta bear the brunt.,,,poor Art blues
Principle #1: never tell anyone what your principles are.
Hmmm that's like the Bertrand Russell paradox, isn't it!?
ok sorry for asking then
as about Russels paradox , there is also ZFC( Zermelo—Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of Choice)
Don't put off until tomorrow,what you can do the day after tomorrow!grin
The metamathematics and semantics never interested me much, but it just so happens aged 16 I bought the collected writings of Russell but didn't dig his education and language theories so much, and number theory was much more my thing then and even now.
Another of my principles would have to be:
Principle #23: While you breathe, study, learn and teach.
rolling on the floor laughing applause
ok Fargo, i ve got the point . thank you

There are so many, I will tell about one of them.

"Only one wife in one life"
it is just a principle, but I don't want even one because it is very difficult to understand a woman.grin
Maybe you need to try harder to understand her,DL
wave
Only intelligent and prosperous man can handle a woman.
i am not so intelligent and prosperous.
I think I'm old enough to know there are no absolutes.

I would steal, or kill and cook an animal if my grandchildren were starving.

I would kill a human being if they were attacking one of my grandchildren.

I would lie to save a persecuted life.

Not violating one's code of ethics is a right, but also a luxury.

We can but try to do the right thing in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.
Maybe you r mistaking..but anyway it s ur own choice(or maybe even Ur life principle)wave
16?

Who added 6 more and when were 6 more added to the original 10?confused
Times have changed. It's 16 now.
I cannot recall all the new ones with the exception of:

Thou shall not cheat on thy taxes.

Yeah?
Nice to meet u Jac,
Life principles are a fundamental psychologically significant position of a person. The presence of conscious life principles indicates a person’s personal position in the world. but I agree that the principles could be flexible depending on the circumstances.
did you want to say that the topic is not interesting, since the principles of life have remained unchanged for centuries? But for the reaction of people of such a kind of question is important.
yeah?
Is this the first time we have interacted?

I have read so many of your posts, it doesn't feel like it. wave
