DocBrain's Beliefs

Here is a summary of DocBrain's beliefs.

1. You are as you are. Genetics dealt you a hand. Chance placed you on the board where you started. Society told you the rules of the game. How you play your hand is up to you. You are not the victim unless you had no choices.
2. You are responsible for your own happiness.
3. Luck is a good thing, but not something to rely on.
4. Mercy is a good thing if given to those who warrant it. Justice is a good thing for those who do not warrant mercy.
5. Never confuse legal with right.
6. Never confuse bureaucracy with right.
7. You are here to enjoy your life, but pleasure is not the ultimate enjoyment. Moving civilization ahead, in any small way that an individual can, is.
8. If you take an advantage over another, you have harmed another.
9. You are your memories and your imagination. Keep both positive and life will be good.
10. Don't criticize people unless you want to be criticized. If you like, be critical of emotions, positions, ideas and actions, but not people.
