MY BELIEFS

The wellbeing of the others is the best rational criterion to tell what is more ethical and what is less ethical in a given situation. This should be the key rule for everyday choice and to live a good life
Pursuing the wellbeing of the others means decide what is the best course of action in a given situation. There is no absolute good or evil, just better choices and worse choices.
It is physically and psychologically impracticable to be ethical always and in every moment. A little room for selfishness is inevitable. The best way to handle it is: make it small and not harmful and be aware that you are being selfish.
Actions are the ultimate objective standard for judging people. Nobody should be exempted from this test, regardless of who they are for you. In fact, the more you care about someone, the more you should care about how they behave

Sentient beings other than man have feelings and your actions are capable of produce pain and suffering to them. When deciding between an action that creates more pain and another one that creates less pain, take all sentient being into account, and choose the least pain
Mind and spirituality are physical products. It is not possible to treat bodies like objects and hope that minds won't be involved. Respect bodies like you respect minds
Efficient societies need a fair system of economic incentives. Individually, though, you should know that a lot of things you buy are not necessary and a lot of people out there have not enough to cover their basic needs, like food, home, medicines.
Most of the time, truth is the best option. It is simpler, it respects the freedom and autonomy of the others, it makes you feel better, it allows you and the others to discuss on accurate premises. Even white lies are, more often than not, the worst choice

We do what we do for a lot of reasons and we are unaware of most of them. Hating someone for doing something has no rational justification, because everyone, given the same conditions, would do again the very thing they just did. Hate, like any kind of retribution, is irrational

Unlike dogmatic thinking, rational thinking requires that every idea can be questioned and must be rationally demonstrated. Only good ideas and accurate facts can stand the scrutiny of reason. Therefore, the best way to select and spread the best is to question them all.
