Rules
Here is a short list of some of the rules about which many people in this world seem to have absolutely no
understanding. Again, they appear on the surface to be obvious, but when looking at the behavior of
many, evidently they are not obvious at all.
- If you see a bad example, don't follow it.
- Sometimes, yes means no and vice versa (sometimes no means yes).
- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Matthew 7:12)
- "Speak evil of no man." (Titus 3:2)
- If someone asks you the same question twice, sometimes it means they want a different answer. This is
called "Coercion".
- A definition of insanity is "Doing the exact same thing the exact same way and expecting a different
result." - a behavioral therapist.
- No/Know means two different things. So when answering a Yes or Know question, choosing "Know"
would mean that the questioner already knows the answer and is thereafter responsible for acting
accordingly.
- In many cases, especially when dealing with child custody, in order to take action against anyone, you
must have their permission. Otherwise you are lawless and in direct opposition to the spirit of the law
where "Freedom" is spoken of in the Constitution of the United States of America. If you operate WITHOUT
the permission of anyone, there will always be consequences directly proportional to the severity of the
transgression. If you operate WITHOUT anyone's permission, then they have the same right to operate
WITHOUT your permission according to Rule 3 above. This parity of reason is biblical and a natural
consequence of disrespecting the rights of others. (Matthew 7:1-2)
- If someone tells you to do something, don't do it if it's wrong and vice versa.
- Sometimes with somethings, the longer you wait, the worse it gets.
- "To beg I am ashamed." (Luke 16:3) Begging brings dishonor to the house.
- If you are guilty, admit it.
- If anyone deserves respect, show it to them. Not otherwise. Respect is earned, not given.
- Finally, and most importantly, under no circumstances do you ever have the right to ruin the life of
anyone, including yourself.
-- Rules drawn from 33 years of observation, life and logic.
Incidentally, these same rules were said almost verbatim during a meeting in April of 1968 in the
backyard of the house
where I grew up. Rules 3 and 4 were said almost 2000 years ago. So anyone running around like an idiot
saying no one ever told them about these rules is a liar who couldn't figure out how to pay attention if
their life depended on it. Someone asked for an explanation of Rule 7 in 1969, but a pack of idiots talked
over the answer more than 3 times. This "talking over" the answer was performed in a court of "law and
justice", and is still a highly effective tool used by lawyers and others to manipulate the weak-minded
away from the truth. A good mind would set the whole thing down in writing which I just did in less than
a 24 hour period. Not hard, and extremely crucial, even pivotal when determining serious matters that
affect the lives of people around us that we say we love, yet refuse to be responsible for.
