We have to keep the horse before the cart. Rules and laws are intended to protect and to help people. If a time comes that they begin to fail in that role, the rules and laws have failed us. Ultimately, human lives and wellbeing need to take priority over rigid commandments.
There is no one-size-fits-all set of rules that can help us navigate unique and opaque situations. Morality must be a dynamic method of meeting an ever-changing world, accessing which actions will cause the least harm and be the most beneficial to the most people.
Creative thinking leads to progress & growth. Individually, thinking creatively produces physical changes in the brain & can help maintain brain health through old age. Collectively, innovation has allowed humanity to thrive & we will stagnate if we stop thinking creatively.
This is the only life we can be sure of & we only have each other to depend on. Selfishness disconnects people & creates discord. Greed drains resources & creates suffering. Heaven may not be real, but we needn't make this life a Hell for one another.
When we respect everyone as a person worthy of the same rights and treatment we expect, we can empathize with them. By empathizing, we cannot help but act compassionately, as we would not wish pain on another we would not wish to experience ourselves.
Laughter creates and reinforces social bonds, it reduces adrenalin and cortisol in the brain while increasing dopamine, it lowers blood pressure and increases immunity, and it makes the world a cheerier place to be. Rather than letting stress create anger, LAUGH.
