Rules For Living

Respect for nature

Respect for authority

Respect for fellow man

The rules of majority

Honesty is contentment

Honesty in everything

Honesty of the heart

Alive as the spring

Joyful in common things

Joyful of mind

Joyful just being

Gentle and kind

Happy within your soul

Happy with friends

Happy to be living

At peace to the end

Creeds I adhere to

Creed for giving

Creed for success

Great rules for living

Paul Callus Date: 10/31/2014 12:49:00 PM Wisdom comes with years of experience; it's a pity that many young ones take long to realize where true happiness lies.

Dorian Petersen Potter Date: 10/13/2014 6:08:00 PM I liked this a lot Jack! Very wholesome and nice principles and thoughts to live by. Lots of wisdom! ;) very inspirational poem, can be helpful to anyone who reads it and apply it as their own. God's teachings and some positive thinking can also help a lot.

Carol Eastman Date: 10/11/2014 10:12:00 AM That's me. Respectful, honest, joyful, happy, and at peace. Wth the firm belief raging on the religious fanatic, to see Dragon grow up right... you see! Just a little tick (in my eyes) seems to be bothering me, and no matter what you hear... I'm telling you that I'm as sane as sane can be! I assure you I'm perfectly all right, cause Grandpa Troll heartily agrees with me! Besides success is in the eye of the beholder... except for with that fussy old Elven King... whose complaining that he's having trouble... finding a single tree. Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/13/2014 7:21:00 AM There's more of us than them... yet they have the control! Will it ever be any different... doubt it. It's always been those religious fanatics that are the conflicts! Hang in there... stay cool, loving hugs! XXX
