rules i live by

the last two days i have been thinking about this, wondering whether my believe system actually contains me, wondering if the so called 'rules' really make me what i am, wondering whether they make me think that i am a better person because i follow them, do they really matter that much? are they the reason that i get confused so often?

i decided today that i need to try and list down as many rules or believes that i have and maybe as i write them i will see a pattern, an overlap maybe.....

1. that i should be honest
2. that i should be genuine
3. that i should be nice
4. that i should not be aggressive
5. that i should stay clam
6. that i should love people who are really important to me
7. that i should love people who arent really that important to me
8. that i should not steal
9. that i should not murder
10. that i should not commit adultery
11. that i should let others just be themselves when they are with me
12. that i should talk wisely
13. that i should respect authority
14. that i should respect the law
15. that i should spread happiness
16. that i should not expect anything in return
17. that i should not be quick in judging
18. that i should take care of my parents
19. that i should take care of people who cant take care of themselves
20. that i should not bribe
21. that i should stay healthy
22. that i should humble myself every chance that i get
23. that i should enjoy every second of life that i have been given
24. that i should trust my creator
25. that i should believe in all these rules with all my heart and live my life in a way that i set an example

i am sure that this list could be longer but for now this is what i could think of, there is no order in this list or priority, i just think that all this is what makes me, me........
