One of my personal mottoes is: "Try not to let your ideals get in the way of your morals." My views on what is moral change over time, but they seem to revolve around these themes. And should you have any comments or suggestions I am more than happy to review and revise.
1: Try to know the difference between doing good and doing bad. Try to do good.
2: Try to know the difference between truthfullness and deceitfullness. Try to be truthfull.
3: Try to find out what is valuable, and what isn't. Cherish that which is valuable.
4: Respect the personal integrety of others. The different kinds are; of feelings, of opinion, of wishes, of promises and of identity. Respect someones lack of integrity enough to tell them.
5: Hold that a disagreement is not an opportunity to engage in verbal warfare, but a chance to learn the thoughts and arguments of others - from which you can revise your opinion.
6: Treat others as you think they wish to be treated, let them respectfully know how you'd like them to treat you.
