I have written several postings related to Various topics including the military, Voting, the economy, religion and etc in America. A list of links have been provided at bottom of this article for your convenience. This article will, however address additional issues in these topics
I know I am not the first person to have this idea, but despite its being discussed previously, I would still like to spend some time with developing this idea further. Even if your are not a Christian you most are likely familiar with the Ten Commandments. The Ten commandments are the basic tenets for not only the Jewish faith but Christianity as well. So if religions can base their belief system on basic rules, why can’t people base their lives on certain words? I am going to discuss the following ten words that I think would make a good platform for people to live heir lives by. If everybody lived by these words I think our world would be a better place to live.
Virtuosity-great technical skill (as in the practice of a fine art);
Industriousness-constantly, regularly, or habitually active or occupied
Empathy-the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner; The power of projecting one’s personality into the object of contemplation.
Tolerance-sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s ow; diminution in the response.
Selflessness-having no concern for self; having no regard for or thought of self.
Thoughtfulness-given to or chosen or made with heedful anticipation of the needs and wants of others
Creativity-the ability to create; creative power or faculty
Patience-the capacity, habit, or fact of being patient
Love-strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties
Courage-mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty;
If people lived by these words our planet would truly be a very special place to live. There is no reason all of the great religions can’t coexist together. Where the problem arises is with fanaticism. There is no place for fanatics. The problem with fanatics is that they think that there way is the only way. They are intolerant of other viewpoints and ways of living. There is no best way of living or doing things, nobodies religion is better than any other person’s. Religion was meant to give solace and meaning to one’s life. If your religion does this, then it can’t possibly be wrong. There are plenty of resources to go around in this world, as long as we share them and manage them with equanimity.
