CoC To Life

This is a little remnant of something I wrote back in high school. Since some of it's faded, I guess this'd be an "Abridged" version. I was really proud of it, and I still think it's a little something that we can all relate to.

1) Respect: Care for those who you hold close to your heart. In turn, they'll do the same. When dating someone, hold their needs above yours. Everything you pass between people is something sacred. Respect that, and you'll respect all others.

2) Integrity: Own up to the promises you make to others as well as the responsibilities bestowed upon you. Truly and honstly listen to the ones you care for. Lies and Decpection break trust so avoid them as much as possible.

3) Charity: Give everything you can to those who need it most. You'll win many hearts by carrying burdens, big or small.

4) Non-Violence: Never fall back on pure aggression or recklessness. Defend yourself with skill, wit and smarts; they're ten times as powerful as your fists.

5) Consistency: Be yourself, even when no one is around to notice. You never know when someone will call upon you, so stand ready and be alert for new challenges and trials.

6) Perspective: Never take anything too seriously. You'll find yourself in a whole lot less strain if you can look on things and weigh them to how really important they are.

... I'm sure there was more to this, but I can't seem to remember. It's old and beat up, but I still love it.
