The Ten Commandments
figuremeout:laurakelly00:youmaybeoffended:
1. DO NOT ASSUME: seek clarification before forming an opinion/argument
2. CONTROL YOUR TEMPER: give yourself one hour to cool down after any and all altercations. NO case is a special case
3. DO NOT SHUT DOWN: after cool down time, talk truthfully and rationally
4. STOP being RESENTFUL, JEALOUS, and COMPETITIVE TO A FAULT
5. DO NOT STRESS the SOCIAL STRATA: that includes trying to figure everybody out
6. SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT: think thrice before you say anything, to anyone
7. DO NOT COMPARE YOUR BODY: your body is your own, judged by its own standards, and in the meantime, boost your confidence - make yourself feel pretty
8. MANAGE YOUR TIME: NO MORE last minute preparations for school assignments, piano performances, deadlines in general
9. CULTIVATE YOURSELF: read more, learn more, talk more, live more
10. Above all, remember: BE YOU. EMBRACE YOU. It is the only way to DISCOVER YOU.
Here you are, preaching all these stuff, and then you ruin it all by contradicting them with the command for me to be myself.
