Right and Wrong
Behavior
Morality is knowing how to accurately calculate the differences
between right and wrong, and good and bad. There are many benefits of
being right and good, and there are many negative consequences that are
the result of being bad or wrong. The more you understand
these differences, the more you will benefit, and the less you will suffer
from mistakes. Knowing comes from Learning, and there is a lot to learn as
you can see. This is not about restricting your thoughts or actions, this is
about increased awareness and
fully understanding the differences between what is logical, and what
is illogical.

Social Norms are informal understandings that govern the behavior of

members of a society. Rules that help guide behavior in a certain
situations or environments. They are sometimes collective
representations of acceptable group conduct as well as individual
perceptions of particular group conduct. They can be viewed
as cultural products (including values, customs, and traditions) which
represent individuals' basic knowledge of what others do and think that
they should do. Respecting someone does not always mean that
you're agreeing with someone, you're just waiting for a better time and
place to address certain actions and behaviors. Asking questions to better
understand behaviors is better then jumping to conclusions on your
personal interpretation. Rulemaking is one of the basic systems that
humans have for organizing and simplifying actions. But it must be done
without risking blind conformity, and without
infringing on individuality or freedoms of expressions.
Individual Responsibility - Human Rights - Civics - Ethics - Social
Values

Social Rule System Theory is an attempt to formally approach different

kinds of social rule systems in a unified manner. Social rules systems
include institutions such as norms, laws, regulations, taboos, customs,
and a variety of related concepts and are important in the social
sciences and humanities. Social rule system theory is fundamentally an
institutionalist approach to the social sciences, both in its placing primacy on
institutions and in its use of sets of rules to define concepts in social theory.

Convention as a norm is a set of agreed, stipulated, or generally accepted

standards, norms, social norms, or criteria, often taking the form of a
custom.

Virtue is the quality of doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong.

Any admirable quality or attribute. A particular moral
excellence. Morality with respect to sexual relations. Virtue (wiki).

Humane is being motivated by concern with the alleviation of suffering and

having or showing compassion or benevolence. Showing evidence of moral
and intellectual advancement.

Principles is a rule or standard especially of good behavior. Rule

of personal conduct. A basic generalization that is accepted as true and
that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct. A basic truth or
law or assumption. A rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the
function of a complex system. Principle.

Solemn is being formal and dignified and characterized by deep sincerity.

A firm belief in the validity of your opinions.

Formal is being in accord with established forms and conventions and

requirements. Logically deductive.

Standard is a basis for comparison and a reference point against which

other things can be evaluated.

Good, Bad, Right and Wrong can be measured and quantified in many

ways. So Morality and Math go hand in hand.

Moral Knowledge helps you to

avoid regret, guilt, shame, remorse, mistakes, abuse, grief, embarrass
ment, crime and disappointment, just to name a few. Moral knowledge
helps to guide you so that you can make good decisions.

Good things come from people when they know better. Bad things
come from people when they don't know any better. If everyone knew better
then they would not do bad things. Everyone has a right to know better.

People should not be good just because they fear punishment. That doesn't
work because people who feel they are above the law will most
always commit crimes, and people who don't fear punishment or consider
punishment, will also commit crimes. The same thing goes for being good.
If people are only good because they seek reward, then people will not be
good all the time because they believe that there is no benefit to being good.
People will also never fully understand the true impacts of their actions,
whether those actions are good or bad. Grateful
Respect - Being Respected
Respect is being nice to someone in a fair and reasonable way that lets
that person or persons know that you care about them and also lets them
know that you think they're important and valuable. Respect is listening
to people and understanding their rights and their feelings. Respect is having
courteous regard for people's feelings. A polite expression of desire for
someone's welfare. Respect is a feeling of admiration toward a person, child,
non-human animal, group, ideal, or indeed almost any entity or concept, as
well as specific actions representative of that esteem. Respect can be a
specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I
have great respect for her judgment"). It can also be conduct in accord with a
specific ethic of respect. The opposite of Disrespect, which is another
education problem to correct and improve.

Reverence is a feeling of profound respect for someone or

something. Ethics - Hero's.

Deserving is someone worthy of being treated in a particular way. Not the

same as being Privileged.

Worthy is having importance or merit or value; being honorable or

Dignity is the quality of being worthy of esteem or respect.

Integrity is the qualifications of being Honest and having strong moral
principles; moral uprightness. It is generally a personal choice to hold oneself
to consistent moral and ethical standards. In Ethics, integrity is regarded by
many as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions.
Integrity can stand in opposition to Hypocrisy, in that judging with the
standards of integrity involves regarding internal consistency as a virtue, and
suggests that parties holding within themselves apparently conflicting
values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.

Humility is the quality of being humble or modest and free from vanity or

conceit.

Sacred is something worthy of respect or dedication because it's believed to

be holy.

Honor System is a philosophical way of running a variety of endeavors

based on trust, honor, and honesty. Something that operates under
the rule of the "honor system" is usually something that does not have
strictly enforced rules governing its principles. In British English, it would
more often be called a "trust system" and should not be confused with the
British honours system. The honor system is also a system granting freedom
from customary surveillance (as to students or prisoners) with the
understanding that those who are so freed will be bound by their honor to
observe regulations (e.g. prison farms are operated under the honor
system), and will therefore not abuse the trust placed in them. A person
engaged in an honor system has a strong negative concept of breaking or
going against it. The negatives may include community shame, loss of status,
loss of a personal sense of integrity and pride or in extreme situations,
banishment from one's community.

daily life, like preserving human life, speaking truthfully, and being nice to

regard for others.

Polite is showing regard for others in manners, speech, behavior, etc., Not

rude; marked by satisfactory (or especially minimal) adherence to social
usages and sufficient but not noteworthy consideration for others.

Being Nice can be Catchy or Contagious. When you say

that someone is rubbing off on you, that means that a
certain characteristic or behavior of someone else is now a part of your
behavior and your personality. Like if your parent or friend loved reading,
then that love of reading might influence you to read more. Or if someone
was always kind and thoughtful, then that characteristic might rub off on you
and make you more kind and thoughtful.

17 Verbal Habits of Highly Likable People

1. They are polite when then can be. Words like "please" and "thank you"
might be technically unnecessary but they're invaluable if you want to be
more charismatic. Want to see an example? Watch this video of an extremely
polite and apologetic armed robber--especially starting around the 23-second
mark--and tell me you don't feel a bit of sympathy for him (even if you still
think he needs to go to jail).
2. They acknowledge small favors. "You're welcome." These two short
words communicate much more than "no problem" (or, of course, "yup")
when someone thanks you for something. Likable people appreciate being
thanked, and they pay it back verbally.
3. They offer meaningful praise. The key word here is "meaningful."
Charismatic people give sincere compliments--never bashful, never
obsequious. When someone merits praise, they say so.
4. They express sincere empathy. They use phrases like, "That must have
made you feel proud," or "I can imagine you must feel angry," thus both
exploring and validating other people's feelings. (Because here's a little
secret: Everybody wants to be understood.)
5. They share useful information. Some people like to hoard information
because they think it makes them more powerful. Don't be that person.
Important caveat, however: Truly likable people understand that
"information" and "rumors" are not the same thing.
6. They offer to help. Many of us want to contribute to our society, but we
often don't know where to begin. The most charismatic people among us start
simply by looking for chances to help--in their families, in their communities,
and in the small moments of their day-to-day lives. (Note to America: Hold
doors for people coming in behind you!)
7. They speak with justifiable confidence. They don't boast or brag. But
when faced with challenging situations--especially things that affect other
people--they're the ones who approach the problem with an air of calmness,
curiosity, and confidence. You might hear them saying things like, "Hmmm. I
wonder how we're going to solve this."
8. They use names and titles that connote respect. Charismatic people
remember other people's names, and use their titles in circumstances when it
makes those people feel good. It takes a long time to earn titles like "doctor"
or police officer, for example; why not use them?
9. They express their faith in others. Four simple words: "I believe in
you." My old boss Bob Woodward used to talk about how a few small words of
encouragement from Ben Bradlee, his editor at The Washington Post, were all
he needed to feel he could succeed as a journalist. That kind of validation
from others can inspire achievement--and affection for the person who gives
the validation.
10. They remember that they're part of a team. A sense of camaraderie
makes tough situations bearable. Having a sense of humor can even make
them fun. Really charismatic people are the ones who say things like, "Hey,
we're all in it together" during tough times--and then work hard to achieve
the team's goals.
11. They make introductions. Want to know five of the nicest words
anyone can ever say to two people at the same time? "I'd like you to
meet...." We're all networkers these days, I suppose, but truly charismatic
people are the ones who are out to help others meet still more people--rather
than just building their own networks.
12. They take their turn. Likable people aren't afraid to step up when it's
their turn to do something enjoyable, or even to bear the burden of
something that isn't so great. In other words, they can take a compliment or
be gracious, but they're also the ones who remember when it's their turn to
pick up the tab for lunch.
13. They let others make their own decisions. Truly charismatic people
have confidence in their opinions--but they also recognize that other people
may legitimately see things differently, and that they have to choose their
own paths in life. Moreover, charismatic leaders aren't afraid to delegate, and
then to trust others to accomplish what they've asked them to do.
14. They listen--and they want to hear more. Highly likable people are
active and sincere listeners. You can tell them your opinion or a story or ask
for their advice, and they respond with questions and verbal cues that
suggest they're present in the moment--interested, even. For any of us, our
time is our most valuable resource, and yet they're more than willing to give
it to you.
15. They take  Responsibility. When it's their job or their fault, they step
up. They take control of the things they're supposed to have control over. It
makes sense: Reliable people are often very likable.
16. They voice their support. We all appreciate people who stand by us
and who let us know that they're there. In the military it's called having the
other guy's "six"--his backside position. Think of someone who showed you
support when you needed it and tell me you didn't think of him or her as
highly likable in that moment.
17. They ask, "Why not?" Likable people are often dreamers, optimists,
and doers. RFK put it best: "There are those that look at things the way they
are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"

New Changes to Tax Law will make deducting charitable giving from

next year's taxes more difficult for taxpayers. The National Council of
Nonprofits in Washington, D.C., estimates that charities and nonprofits such
as churches, will see big drops in donations in the coming year. The drop in
charitable giving could be as much as $20 billion nationwide because more
people will take the standard deduction as opposed to itemizing.

The main reason why we have to have charities is because people are allowed
to hoard the wealth of citizens. And then they use that money to buy
people that helps to protect them from justice. Treating a disease never
cures the disease. Greed and corruption murders people every single day.

seeing the world through different eyes. Thinking Outside the Box.

Empathic Intelligence is being able to put yourself in other people’s

shoes, or situations, so as to better understand their struggles and
behaviors. Being able to walk in someone else's shoes means that you
have the ability to understand how far a person has come and how much
suffering they had to endure. Understanding a person is the first step
to helping them. See the world as they do. You have to imagine having
the same fears as someone else does. You have to imagine using the same
kind of reasoning as someone else uses. You have to imagine having the
same lack of knowledge and information as someone else does. You have to
imagine the struggles that a person may experience. Can you help guide
someone through their own intervention?

Something is acceptable until it happens to you, and when that

something happens to you, then all of a sudden that thing becomes
unacceptable and bad. If you can't walk in other peoples shoes, you will
eventually wear them whether they like it or not. Why does something
become bad and wrong only when it happens to you? It's not bad until it
affects me. It's not bad because it only happens to other people is a lie.

Empathizing-Systemizing Theory suggests that people may be classified

on the basis of their scores along two dimensions: empathizing (E) and
systemizing (S). It measures a person's strength of interest in empathy (the
ability to identify and understand the thoughts and feelings of others and to
respond to these with appropriate emotions) and a person's strength of
interest in systems (in terms of the drive to analyse or construct them).

Empathy Quotient is the ability to feel an appropriate emotion in response

to another's emotion and the ability to understand the others'
emotion. Listening.

Roots of Empathy is a classroom program that claims to have dramatic

effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising
social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. ROE.

Compersion is the feeling of joy that you get when you see
someone else experiencing joy, such as in witnessing a toddler's joy
and feeling joy in response. The feeling of joy associated with seeing a loved
one love another, which is the opposite or in contrast with jealousy.

Vicarious is the feeling of joy that you get when experiencing

someone else's joy, such as when witnessing a toddler's joy and feeling
joy in response. Vicarious is a feeling that you experience in
the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person. Social
Networks - Fame.

Living Vicariously is living as if through someone else or acting for

someone else. Vicariously means that you're experiencing something
indirectly, like when your friend's adventure feels like that you were there
experiencing the same thing, or when seeing a movie or reading a book you
feel like you were there in the story. Vicarious is feeling happy when you see
someone do the things that you always wanted to do, and you're so glad to
see someone you love have a better life than you.

Six Habits of Highly Empathic People

Want to change the world? Start by being brave enough to care: Cleo
Wade (video and text)

College Roommates Underestimate each other's Distress, new

psychology research shows. College roommates are sensitive to their
roommates’ distress but tend to underestimate the level of distress being
experienced by others.

Distancing in psychology is seeing ourselves as though we were an outside

observer, leads to a more confident and positive response to upcoming
stressors than seeing the experience through our own eyes. Distancing
describes the process by which psychologists help a person establish their
own individuality through understanding their separateness from everything
around them. This understanding of one's identity is considered an essential
phase in coming to terms with symbols, which in turn forms the foundation
for full cognition and language. Recently, work has been done in psychological
distancing in terms of development, personality and behavior.

Responsible Behavior Teaching Ideas

If you can't relate to a victim or put yourself in other people shoes, that
means you need help too. You are not the only human, or are you the first
human or the last human. So what kind of human are you now? You are
everything that we are. So which part of life are you focusing on? Everyone
gets distracted, but not everyone stays distracted. We have to balance our
own personal goals with everyone else's shared goals around us, including the
goals our planet Earth. If we don't, we will eventually have no goals at all or
anything to live for, not even instinct will save us then.

Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being thorough, careful, or

vigilant. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well. Conscientious
people are efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly.
They exhibit a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for
achievement; they display planned rather than spontaneous behavior; and
they are generally organized and dependable. They have a more functional
anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) than the average person. It is manifested in
characteristic behaviors such as being neat and systematic; also including
such elements as carefulness, thoroughness, and deliberation (the tendency
to think carefully before acting.) Conscientiousness is one of the five traits of
the Five Factor Model of personality and is an aspect of what has
traditionally been referred to as having character. Conscientious individuals
are generally hard-working and reliable. When taken to an extreme, they may
also be "workaholics", perfectionists, and compulsive in their behavior. People
who score low on conscientiousness tend to be laid back, less goal-oriented,
and less driven by success; they also are more likely to engage in antisocial
and criminal behavior.

term originated as an abbreviation of orl korrekt, which is a jokey misspelling
of 'all correct' that was in the US in the 1830s. The oldest written references
result from its use as a slogan by the Democratic party during the American
Presidential election of 1840. Their candidate, President Martin Van Buren,
was nicknamed 'Old Kinderhook' (after his birthplace in New York State), and
his supporters formed the 'OK Club'. This undoubtedly helped to popularize

Reciprocation
Reciprocation is an expression of Gratitude and Understanding.
It's Giving Thanks and showing Appreciation for the actions of others
that you have benefited from by returning the favor so that others will
benefit from your actions, thus preserving the cycle of kindness and not
breaking this cycle by taking more then you give. This does not just apply to
people, but the environment as well.

Reciprocity in social psychology is a social rule that says people should

repay, in kind, what another person has provided for them; that is, people
give back (reciprocate) the kind of treatment they have received from
another. Reciprocally is in a mutual or shared manner.

Reciprocity in social and political philosophy is the expectation that

people will respond to each other in similar ways—responding to gifts and
kindnesses from others with similar benevolence of their own.

Helping (therapeutic ideas) - Guaranteed Income - Seed Money (funding)

- Trade

Helping people is not to feel better about yourself, it's to make

other people feel better, so that better people can make the world a better
place, which in return will find its way back to you making you a better
person and making your life better.

Cause and Effect (what goes around comes around)

Reciprocity in cultural anthropology refers to the non-market exchange of

goods or labour ranging from direct barter (immediate exchange) to forms
of gift exchange where a return is eventually expected (delayed exchange)
as in the exchange of birthday gifts.

Reciprocal Altruism is a behavior whereby an organism acts in a manner

that temporarily reduces its fitness while increasing another organism's
fitness, with the expectation that the other organism will act in a similar
manner at a later time.

Serial Reciprocity or Pay it Forward is an expression for describing the

beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of to the original
benefactor. Sharing - Compassion.

Pay it Forward is when you are the beneficiary of a good deed and then you
repay the gift to others instead of to the original person who gave you the
gift. Not like those selfish Bank Loans.

Ethic of Reciprocity or the Golden Rule, is the principle of treating others

as one would wish to be treated oneself. It is a maxim of altruism seen in
many human religions and human cultures. The maxim may appear as
either a positive or negative injunction governing conduct: One
should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself (positive or
directive form). One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to
be treated (negative or prohibitive form). What you wish upon others, you
wish upon yourself (empathic or responsive form).

Golden Rule Day is Everyday. Treat others and the planet as you would
like to be treated.

"The Golden Rule is not an option – it’s the key to our common survival."
-Karen Armstrong

Doing one good thing can create benefits for other

things because things are connected. Doing something good here will
have a good effect on something over there. You can help one person and
then that person can help one person and so on and so on, until that good
gesture comes full circle and the process of compassion continues again and
again. What goes around comes around. Working together is in our blood,
it's what we are made of. Our human nature is to be good. Our body is
a symbiotic organism. You help me and I will help you is what's happening
inside your body every second of every day. This is one of the reasons why
hatred and anger is so bad for your health. Your body starts to hurt itself
because it becomes disrupted from your negativity and can't be productive in
the way it should. Doing one bad thing can have repercussions for other
things. Collateral Damage.

Gifts - Donations - Charity

Gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of
payment in return. An item is not a gift if that item is already owned by
the one to whom it is given. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation
of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free, but of course nothing is free,
everything has some sort of a cost involved. And just because something is
free, this is not a measurement of worth or value. Life is gift, but you
couldn't say that you got life for nothing. Gift Economy (sharing). A gift can
also mean having a natural ability or talent, something that came easy
because of previous learned knowledge and skills, along with many hours of
practice.

Gift Economy is a mode of exchange where valuables are not traded or sold,
but rather given without an explicit agreement for immediate or
future rewards. This contrasts with a barter economy or a market
economy, where goods and services are primarily exchanged for value
received. Social norms and custom govern gift exchange. Gifts are not given
in an explicit exchange of goods or services for money or some other
commodity. Sharing.

Donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable

purposes and/or to benefit a cause. A donation may take various forms,
including cash offering, services, new or used goods including clothing, toys,
food, and vehicles. It also may consist of emergency, relief or humanitarian
aid items, development aid support, and can also relate to medical care needs
as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are
also called gifts in kind. Bribes (lobbying).
Charity is a foundation created to promote the public good (not for
assistance to any particular individuals). An activity or gift that benefits the
public at large. A kindly and lenient attitude toward people. Humanitarian.

Charitable Organization s a non-profit organization (NPO) whose primary

objectives are philanthropy and social well-being (e.g. charitable, educational,
religious, or other activities serving the public interest or common good).
An institution set up to provide help to the needy.

If you have a little, you give a little, if you have a lot, you give a
lot. Generosity - Symbiosis.

Grateful - Gratitude
Gratitude is understanding the value of someone or something that has
benefited you, and then showing your appreciation by being thankful for
that person and reciprocating if possible. Gratitude is the proper, fitting or
called-for response to benefits or beneficence from a benefactor, like the
garbage man.

Grateful is feeling gratitude or showing gratitude. To Be the cause or source

of comfort or pleasure.

Appreciation is understanding the true nature of things and understanding

the meaning of life and how much we need to depend on each other
and our environment in order to live, learn, love and progress.

Acknowledge is to declare something to be true or to admit the

existence or reality or truth of something. To express recognition of the
presence or existence of something, or that acquaintance with
something. Enlightenment - Knowledge.

Recognize is to be fully aware or cognizant of. Detect with the senses.

Perceive to be the same. Exhibit recognition for an antigen or a substrate.

Validity - Scientifically - Approval - Acknowledge - Condescension - Pr
ivilege - Selfish

Thankful is appreciating other peoples hard work and sacrifices by

showing reciprocation in way that lets that person or persons know that
you recognize their hard work and effort and that you are aware of
the value that they have given to this world and to you.

Thanks is to acknowledge and appreciate someone's actions by expressing

gratitude and showing appreciation by saying thanks or thank you, or by
doing something nice and positive for that person. Giving thanks to clean
water.

Thank you is a common expression of gratitude and a way of being

polite to someone. Without over doing the Praise.
Thanksgiving began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest
and of the preceding year. Prayers of thanks and special
thanksgiving ceremonies are common among almost all religions after
harvests and at other times.

Thank you Sun, Thank you Earth, Thank you Life, Thank you for this Daily
Bread, Thank you Lord, Thank you God.

Taken for Granted is failing to properly appreciate someone or something,

usually because you mistakenly underestimate the value of that
person or thing. When you take someone for granted it means that
you expect or assume that someone or something will always available for
you, and thus you never give enough recognition or thanks to that person, or
prepare yourself for the day when that person or thing is no longer available.

Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth means that you should

not judge the value of a gift prematurely or measure quality of something
using only a few superficial indicators. Looking at a horses teeth might not
tell you everything about the horses health.

Content is being satisfied with things as they are and

being comfortable with your situation in life. Something's in life you cannot
change, so you must change yourself. Just as long as you never stop
learning and you never confuse being content with conformity, or
confuse satisfaction with acceptance.

Having a conscience is important, but if your conscience is not effective in

determining right from wrong or good from bad, then your conscience will
not benefit you, or benefit anyone else. Conscience is like a system check,
it's knowing what questions to ask and when to ask them, it's knowing how to
pretend that you are the other person by being able to put yourself in other
peoples shoes. You can even recall similar experiences that you had when
you were the other person, to get a better idea.

"Sometimes people don’t notice the things others do for them until they stop
doing them."

Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one would wish to be

treated oneself.

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention." 

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get
better, it's not." - The Lorax

American Humanist Association is the ability and responsibility of human

beings to lead personal lives of ethical fulfillment that aspire to the greater
good of humanity.
Recipe for Life: A Few Cups of Love. Take one tablespoon of patience, one
teaspoon of generosity, one pint of kindness; Take one quart of laughter, one
pinch of concern. And then mix willingness with happiness, add lots of faith
and stir it up well. Then spread it over a span of a life time and serve it to
each and every deserving person you meet. ~ Muhammad Ali  “Float like a
butterfly, sting like a bee”.

People who are more active and experience more happiness are
people that...Read everyday, compliment others, adapt to changes, forgive
others, talk about their ideas, they continuously learn, they accept
responsibility. they learn from their mistakes, their grateful for the things
they have, they sets goals and make plans.

People who are less active and experience more sadness are
people that....watch TV every day, overly criticize, they fear change, they
hold grudges, they talk about other people too much, they think they know it
all, they blame others for their problems, they believe they are entitled, they
never set goals or have plans.

Life Stance - Humanism

Most people know right from wrong and good and bad, but people don't
always practice what they preach. People seem to be selective, or, they
don't fully understand the facts of the situation. This is another problem we
can solve by improving education. Tragedy of the Commons and
the Prisoner's Dilemma is a perfect example of people not having enough
information and knowledge in order to calculate the best decisions and
choices that people have, especially group decisions. Ignorance will always
make people more vulnerable to corruption and selfishness. Social
Reactions.

Jainism practitioners believe nonviolence and self-control are the means to

liberation. The three main principles of Jainism are nonviolence, non-
absolutism (anekantavada) and non-possessiveness (aparigraha). Followers
of Jainism take 5 major vows: nonviolence, not lying, not stealing (asteya),
chastity, and non-attachment. Parasparopagraho Jivanam is the motto of
Jainism. Its theological system is termed as transtheistic. Jain
Philosophy (wiki).

We know that all Babies are born with an Instinctual Behavior to be Good.

But this Biological Nature to be Good is very basic and incomplete, so it

concepts and the numerous benefits that come from having good and
fair Behavior.

Self Smart

Always try to keep your values as close to being logical as humanly possible.
Logic is one of the reasons why we are all here. So it makes sense to use
logic as much as possible because logic usually works really well. 
Learning Methods

Ben Franklin Effect is when a person who has performed a favor for
someone is more likely to do another favor for that person than they would
be if they had received a favor from that person. An explanation for this
would be that we internalize the reason that we helped them was because we
liked them. The opposite case is also believed to be true, namely that we
come to hate a person whom we did wrong to. We de-humanize them to
justify the bad things we did to them.

Praxeology is the deductive study of human action, based on the notion that
humans engage in purposeful behavior, as opposed to reflexive behavior like
sneezing and inanimate behavior. According to its theorists, with the action
axiom as the starting point, it is possible to draw conclusions about human
behavior that are both objective and universal. For example, the notion that
humans engage in acts of choice implies that they have preferences, and this
must be true for anyone who exhibits intentional behavior.

Merit in Catholicism is to be a property of a good work which entitles the

doer to receive a reward.
Merit in Buddhism is a power which accumulates as a result of good deeds,
acts, or thoughts.
Confucianism is a way of governing, or simply a way of life. Philosophy.

they ignorantly believe that their time and resources is better spent trying to
make others less productive so they don't feel so bad about how unproductive
they are. Just because their life sucks, they want other peoples life to suck
too so that you don't feel alone in being a loser. Making other people fail in
order to make themselves feel better about their own failures, which only
proves how insane and ignorant they are. Spite.

"Not feeling bad about doing something bad, is really f*cking bad. If you
don't know that you are an a*shole, you will never stop being an a*shole. But
that's not your fault, and no one is to blame. But now that you know this, the
questions are, can you adjust? Can you adapt? Can you give as well as you
receive? And, are you willing to learn about things that you may have over
looked or perceived as being not important? Will you at least try to
understand? You are nothing without people, and people will always be
something with or without you. So, are you the thorn or are you the foot?
You're the foot, so please stop being an as*hole." Shadow Work is a way
Getting to Know Your Darker Half.

"The reasons why so many people are not getting any meaningful work done
is because they're too busy maliciously attacking other people and stabbing
each other in the back. How about making a difference instead of just adding
to everyone's problems."

the system that put them there. Not everyone knows what
a systemic problem is. They might know the meaning or definition of the

smart.

Talking Heads - Pulled Up (youtube) I was complaining, I was down in the

dumps, I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up, Pull me up up up up, up
up up up.

You think that you're better then others, or superior to others just
because you have more, or have done more, or have gone to better schools?
But that doesn't make you better or does it make other people insignificant or
worthless. It only makes you a person who has more potential. And potential
is not a right to be prejudice or ignorant towards other people, because that
would be a waste of potential, and a waste of time. So if you are smarter,
then that means you must have learned that condescension is pure prejudice
and pure ignorance. Just because other people don't live up to your
standards, or haven't benefited from life the same way that you have, does
not make other people insignificant or worthless. People are not abusing
themselves or struggling on purpose because they're stupid, they do it for the
same reasons that you do, because they have not learned enough. Pride is
good, but not when pride turns into a form of prejudice and disrespect
towards other people. Self-respect is not a reason to disrespect. Respect is a
courteous regard for people's feelings, and also, respect is common sense in
knowing that being nice to people has lot more benefits that not being nice to
people. When you are aware of other people, instead of being weary of or
judgmental, then you start seeing people more clearly, and you also
start listening more carefully, so you hear more and understand
more. Prejudice kills communication, so that means that prejudice is a
threat to life. Prejudice is the highest form of ignorance a person can have,
it's not only illogical and wrong, it's a form of violence against others, and
violence against yourself. If you really believe that your life is special then
you would want more people to understand it, and not be victimized by it.
And poor people shouldn't feel inferior just because they see other people
who have more. One of the mains reasons why we have poor people is not
because we have rich people, it's because we have too much ignorance in our
world. Money does not buy intelligence, as we can clearly see, and clearly
not see. Poor people have fewer opportunities, they have less access to
informational services, and a lower quality of educational services. But when
people finally become more educated and learn the things that we should be
learning, then everyone will live better lives, and no will have to waste time
looking up at people, unless that person is a source of inspiration. And no one
would have to waste time looking down on people, unless they were helping
them up. Confidence.

Prejudice
To be Prejudice is a life sentence of misery, because there will never a day
in your life that will go by that you will not experience anger or frustration.
This is not to say that you will never be able to laugh or experience
happiness, it's just that those moments will always be interrupted by misery.
So you see, prejudice is not only stupid, it's bad for your health, and it
reduces your quality of life. Even if you become successful, it will not matter,
prejudice will ruin your life. And it might not be that obvious at first, but it will
be, and then you will realize how illogical it is, and how bad it is, and how bad
it is for the people around you. A life without prejudice is a beautiful life. But
a beautiful life will never happen if you allow prejudice to be part of
it. Discrimination Barriers.

"Out of all the prejudice people that I have ever known in my life, I notice
one particular thing about them, they were always the most miserable people
I knew. Even though I did see them experience happiness, it was never for
long."
