    In your basement, under the steps.
    OK, you don't have to follow these. I will never try to force others onto my path unless they are harmful.
    And the hunting one does NOT apply to hunting for food that you need.


    You shall not bring harm, emotional or physical, to the innocent and undeserving.
    You shall not harm a child or animal, or make or allow them to harm.
    You shall not hunt for sport, nor take joy in a creature's death, unless it has been harmful.
    You shall defeat with intelligence, not force.
    You shall not force your opinions onto others.
    You shall not allow the oppression of any living being, other than the harmful.
    You shall not hate those who are kind.
    You shall not judge by anything other than personality.
    You shall be honest.
    You shall not break a promise, unless the keeping of the promise could bring serious harm.
    You shall sacrifice to give.
    You shall not perpetrate nor allow rape, murder, or harm of any kind.
    You shall be kind and love your fellows.
    You shall love who you love, as long as they are consenting adults as yourself.
    You shall not judge those who love, as long as they love consenting adults as themselves.
    You shall bring joy.
    You shall keep sex and sexuality sacred and safe, no matter who it is with, as long as they are consenting adults as yourself.
    You shall not allow that which harms, or the harmful into your life.
    You shall worship who you choose or not.
    You shall live as you wish, but also take the consequences.
    You shall not force your lifestyle onto others.
    You shall respect.
    You shall be giving.
    You shall not commit gluttony, gluttony meaning taking more than necessary to eat, spend, or store.
    You shall be healthy to the best of your ability.
    You shall love yourself for who you are.
    You shall not intercede with another's choice of expression.
    You shall only allow the words of your doctor to cause you to lose weight.
    You shall only let yourself change you.
    You shall not allow other's opinions to change your expression of self.
    You shall be happy or not with who you see in the mirror, and change yourself according to your wishes alone.
    You shall not live in unhealthy conditions that you can change.
    You shall not allow suffering if you can change it.
    You shall NEVER harm.
    You shall NEVER disobey this code.

    I just thought I'd share this code I try to live by everyday and see if anyone else shares my opinion.
    And you do NOT have to like this code or abide by this. The "you" in this code is referring to myself.

    I personally don't feel the need to have strict rules, I just let my moral compass guide me as and when

    Ditto.

    I live my life by the golden rule. I do random acts of kindness often. That's pretty much it.

    I think with some of these you are setting yourself up to fail.

    You shall love yourself for who you are. I dont think ive ever met anyone who is 100% happy with who they are there is always something you want to make better.

    You shall only let yourself change you. Everything around you in some way will affect change from what you watch on the TV to what music you listen too. Even the people you class as friends will change who you are.

    As long as you are a morally good person you should never need this code just do whats right.

    I plan on becoming a psychiatrist, so I will have to abide by the hippopotamus oath, or was it the hypocritical oath? Hippocratic? Nah, definitely not Hippocratic, that's not even a word.

    I have an abnormally long list of them within my own personal spectrum that overlap and contradict each other in terms of importance. Some day I feel as though I should write them all down as an actual code just so I can cite it. Because I have a strict internal moral compass and rarely bend my rules. This however is for myself, though it does impact others (Case in point, cutting certain people out of my life).

    I don't have a strict list. I just try my best to be a decent person.

    I don't really like this one. Besides yourself, it's basically impossible to know exactly what a person has been through and what their life's like, which could affect their personality.
