- Why?Exactly.
- This is simply a reformulation of ‘0’ and, therefore, redundant.I don’t think all reformulations are redundant because the way you say something is almost as important as what you say. Repeating something, but with different emphasis, may hold value.
This rule, however, probably is redundant — after all that.
- There is no second best — which is why this post answers itself.Just as with 2. (as previously addressed) I am beginning to shift in my thinking towards this.
Well…no…
I’m beginning to develop another of my damned contradictions where I find myself torn once more between two viewpoints that should be irreconcilable.
*Are *irreconcilable, yet I hold both regardless. Its annoying at the very least because it makes me not only contradictory but contrary to boot…
- Don’t lie — unless it’s to spare someone’s feelings … and even then there had better be a damn good reason.See answer to 4.
- See 3.I don’t quite agree that not taking anything for granted is as simple as ‘why?’
9./10. These are usually concatenated into a single rule.They could be, maybe they should be. I seem to prefer ‘rule pairs’ over ‘double barreled’ rules but the semantics don’t matter too much..
- No … don’t give the game away — ‘What would be the point of ciphering messages that very clever enemies couldn’t break? You’d end up not knowing what they thought you thought they were thinking…’Oooh that’s clever…hmm…
- Give both equal consideration, however — it’s better to regret the dreams you chased than the dreams you didn’t.This is another one of my ‘rule pairs’ that is intentionally directly contradicted by rule 20. Those are also some of my most changed/rephrased rules and ones most liable for expunging too.
- I’ll think about that one but remember this: be careful what you wish forHmm. Yeah. Maybe ‘for better or worse’ needs to be suffixed on that one
- That’s unambitious — what happened to rule 9?This is referencing my notion that every good deed has a bad counterpart. I know I said previously I don’t believe in Karma…and logically, I don’t. But pessimistically, I just can’t shake the notion of ‘ups and downs’. Another one of my infuriating contradictions….
Further to that it’s like a ‘remember you are mortal’ but for happiness. Fun!
30. ?Another one resembling Karma. But with a more…generic (?) bent. Basically help people because you never know when you’ll need help yourself.
Its from some story I found on Reddit originally, I think. Now that I come to mention it, I’m not sure what the point was me publishing just the rules with only a short header. Every rule bears a story and makes less sense than I realised without it (obviously, because I know all the stories..)
- Oops! That’s contradictory.Exactly. Perfect for me, then ;D
- Of course there is.Not my rule, tempted to scrub it. But at the same time, I like it…
Blast! I really can’t shake this damned duality thing. Going to need two sets of rules, one the exact opposite of the other, at this rate.
That’d be insane…sounds it anyway. Ooooooooooor, maybe it’d be the only sane way to go about things.
- See 3.See answer to 8. This rule could equally be written Junkie-style ‘Just go for it’ which isn’t a rephrasing of 0. at all I don’t think.
