Since we live in a world where so many people harm others, if we want to avoid this, it is necessary to spread far and wide the ethics of being a good person, free from cruelty and focused on avoiding suffering:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      1. You shall respect others’ rights and freedom.<\/strong> All sentient beings are free by birthright, with the primary limitation of not harming others. Therefore, you shall live and let live. <\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                  1. You shall judge fairly:<\/strong> you shall only judge and condemn those who have intentionally caused unjustified harm and never an innocent person.

If you can provide for yourself, you shall not expect others or the State to solve your problems for you, thus avoiding overburdening others or taking advantage of them. You shall provide some form of help to those who cannot help themselves and encourage those who can help themselves to do so, if they wish. You shall contribute your fair share to the groups you belong to, doing your part, and you shall not attempt to receive from them more than what is justly yours. <\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
