The Best Samaritan

Fear of punishment or retribution by a higher power is no reason for doing a good deed or the right thing. Anyone and everyone will perform an altruistic act if they think someone is watching and judging. Such cowardly acts are based on fear of reprisal and selfishness and carry little weight as deeds of service unto others.

When you are obligated to help others, do so with a kind heart and an open mind and focus on the welfare of those who will receive your kindness.

But service unto others without obligation or fear of judgment is the highest form of all services rendered freely to mankind.

6th Rule of Thumb

If the sky is the limit, then you have set your sights too low.

The Purpose of Life

The purpose of life is to live your life by doing all the things that are required of you while striving to be a better person each day.

This is a tall order for anyone. In fact, it is such a tall order that virtually no one follows it.

But what is to be gained by not seeking the impossible and making it probable, if not possible, after all?
