Harmonic Revelations

747 views

I decided I should compile a list of rules by which I live my life. I only felt it fitting, since my actions often cause confusion, and while I may seem to be quite random to the casual observer, I actually have a very calculated method of decision making/living.

 

So here's a bit of what defines me, I'll post these in list form.

 

Rule 1

-Before taking any action, I must have reasonable expectations that it will help more people than it will harm. I do not take my own gain or loss into consideration in this expectation.

 

Rule 2

-If something I'm going to say is going to make people happy, laugh, or just generally improve their day, it's worth saying.

 

Rule 3

-Do not have a negative disposition to somebody unless I have good reason (Such as if antagonizing them obeys Rule 1). Good reasons include:

  • They are committing some kind of crime

  • They are intentionally harming others for their own self-gain

  • They are spreading hatred intentionally.

 

Rule 4

-Let the past remain in the past, in the long run it takes more effort to hold a grudge than to forgive and forget.

 

Rule 5

-Others before myself.

 

Rule 6

-Anticipate the consequences of my actions and prepare for said consequences in advance.

 

Rule 7

-Loyalty to friends goes before loyalty to self (AKA helping others over preservation of self)

 

Rule 8

-Negative emotions can be kept to myself unless somebody actually has a genuine interest in such emotions.

 

Rule 9

-Sacrifice is a necessary part of life, always accept it when necessary.

 

Rule 10

-Say things are they are, not as you wish they were.

 

Rule 11

-If any of my beliefs are disproved by evidence, discard the belief.

I hope that kind of clears up any confusion you may have had over my moral obligations or philosophy. I was going to compile this list eventually anyway, so posting it here to help others understand the rules by which I guide myself would make a lot of sense and make my life a lot easier, instead of having to explain it individually.

 

However, if you do wish for me to elaborate on anything written here, tell me in the comments, PM, or really any way to contact me and I shall elaborate/answer any questions.

Those rules are well put together, they remind me of why I do what I do even if other people don't agree with me.

I think this is one of the best ways to live your life, if not the best. I only wish more people could be like this.

I didn't even know you had rules. You seem cynical and rude in a lot of your older posts, if I'm honest. Where did positive Harmonic come from? o__o

I do have rules, and I've been like this for the longest time, but my straight-forwardness and Rule 10 make me come off as rude quite often.

I get that a lot too but you seemed to be trying to be intentionally rude to everyone. I like that quality in most people, though (not rudeness, of course, brutal honesty) and I don't see the nastier side often anymore-as I once said I really wasn't a fan of you (to be truthful I quite disliked you) but now that I see you more I realize that you're much cooler than I imagined. I guess it was wrong of me to make assumptions.

 

Just like that, topic derailed. Whoo.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, and since for some reason the find content button won't let me view content from earlier than April, I'll have to take your word for it.

 

If I had to guess why I was so rude I'd say it was because I was on Newgrounds for such a long time that I adjusted to rudeness being what everyone expected and had to get out of the habit.
