Really?
Do you go with them all the way?
What about "Thou Shalt Not Kill"?
Vegan?
Or "Remember the Sabath and Keep It Holy"?
Does one do nothing on Saturdays? Not use computers, or do math, or anything that could be 'work'?
Or (losing the exactness on this one) "No Graven Images and Stuff"?
Wouldn't that count photographs and even the image on a computer or television screen?
It would at least count 'action figures' and a large number of salt and pepper shakers.
They're even shaped like cows sometimes.

I try to live my life around forgiveness: Don't hold anything agaisnt anyone else; Don't hold things against yourself. Basically "Don't Be Hurt", which is not the same a "Don't Get Hurt" becuase that gets you nowhere fast. "Don't Get Hurt" sucks.

Guilt and Grudge are both burdens that prevent you from enjoying life or even living the life you'd like to live, from being the person you wish you were. This doens't mean that you shouldn't learn from your mistakes, or that you should let another wrong you again and again. It's more about the attitude you have toward the past.

All bad things come from Hurt. By limiting the Hurt in my life I can lower the amount of Hurt around me and make the world a better place.

Now, if only I could actually live that way...

Some Absurdest once said something like "It is the nature of a man to recognize he is flaw, desire to better himself, and to be unable to do much of anything significant about it." I'm pretty sure I got that wrong...
