If you're fed up with what is currently on offer (religion seems to cause a lot of death and mayhem if you ask me) then I think it is time to start your own!
All you need to do is come up with a few 'rules' and start living by them.
Here are a few of the 'rules' for my new religion, which is so new, it doesn't even have a name yet (suggestions please)
FORGIVENESS
You need to forgive the past, forgive others and above all, forgive yourself.
BIGOTRY
All humans are 99.99% identical. Don't let that 0.01% difference bias your opinion of another, especially when it comes
to color, creed, religion
or race.
EDUCATION
If your child's education does not EXPAND the mind then it is not education at all, it is something entirely different.
FAMILY
Being 'family' does not legitimize intolerable or unacceptable behaviour.
REGRET
Regret is a wasted emotion unless it is used as the propulsion to move forward.
NOW
The past is set in stone, the future hasn't happened yet. There is only NOW. But too often we spend time regretting the past, worrying about the future and forgetting to live in the NOW.
So, to sum up,
forgive, don't be a bigot, educate, do not accept unacceptable behaviour, have no wasteful regrets and live in the NOW.
So NOW, what shall we call it?
