New Ten Commandments

The source for this list is here.  I thought about inventing my own list - but why?  This list is very good.  I think if we could get the Biblical Ten Commandments replaced with these, the world would be a better place.

First Commandment: Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.


Second Commandment: In all things, strive to cause no harm.


Third Commandment: Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.


Fourth Commandment: Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.


Fifth Commandment: Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.


Sixth Commandment: Always seek to be learning something new.


Seventh Commandment: Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.


Eighth Commandment: Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.


Ninth Commandment: Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.


Tenth Commandment: Question everything.
