As disappointing as it may sound, everything is relative to the conditions, time, place, individual(s) involved. There are no black and white answers that apply in all cases.
This is not a dress rehearsal. There is no heaven or hell, no past lives to blame or credit. There is no afterlife waiting to reward or punish us for how we live now.
You are unique. Think for yourself. Listen, watch, read to form your opinions. Be prepared to change them as new information becomes available. However be aware that others, with access to the same information may have reached different conclusions that may not agree with yours.
Be kind and respectful of others for they are probably doing their best. Nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. Allow for that in your dealing with others. Everyone can use a helping hand now and again.
Don't be deceitful. It can lead to pain and suffering. Don't delude yourself either. Keep your promises. Even when you are trying to protect someone's feelings, the truth in the long run will be less painful than a lie.
Everyone needs help at sometime or another; some more than others. Help those who need it and then you may be helped in a time where you could use a friend.
Take time to do what makes you smile. Enjoy life. Dance, sing and laugh (or not) as you please. Life is not meant to be hard. It is however short. Enjoy it while you can. Help others to enjoy it as well, as happiness can be contagious.
We all inhabit our own personal worlds, and our thoughts are colored by our experiences in ways we can't even begin to comprehend. An unyielding commitment to the truth is our only hope of ever reaching fulfilling agreement.
Too often groups create policy or action that withholds the rights of others based upon personal or religious preferences. Individuals should be free to live based upon individual or group ethics, but prohibited from that expression when it deny's another their own rights.
As human beings we thrive on a state of worthiness. To acknowledge that state of worthiness in others is the height of respect. As social beings we need to be acknowledged.
In time you grow as a person to hopefully have a better understanding of what you do not know. When you are young you think you know everything and as you grow older you realize how little you do know and hopefully gain a better understanding of life itself.
The world improves for all if we are kind. "At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."
No evidence exists for the existence of these beings or powers. i also do not see any help these sorts of powers or beings give to the world. life on earth goes on exactly as we would expect it to without outside interference from beings with super natural powers
Theocracy can't be moral because people need to be free to choose their religion and practice it in a society that makes no judgments about choices. By definition a theocracy has chosen sides and can not be impartial if it's subjects are opposed to the state religion.

We need to re-think how our human activities, technology and appetite for growth, affects our environment and all animal and plant life that sustains the human race. We are as much dependent on sustaining; for example the needs of the honey bee, as the honey bee sustains us.
