Sand and sandal sanskrit sans sanity. Platitudinous piffle.
Good rules to live by, although I think modern day progressives may have an issue with number 8. Although I think number 8 is accurate, some would contend "systemic racism" etc gets in the way, and that some have no choice. I wholeheartedly agree with 8 though, life ultimately is whatever you make it to be. Take most Christians for instance, they believe in a literal lake of fire, and not surprisingly their lives are a literal hell filled with self-loathing and misery.
