Buddha had said, “Doubt everything. Find your own light.”
With this, when we begin to question the rules we live by,
There’s a lot of dead wood there.
Rules, and by virtue of that, morals and values
Aren’t about meeting customs and conventions.
But, discarding rules can lead to lack of purpose and chaos.
Creating simple guiding principles keeps this at bay.
What are rules? The difference between right and wrong in thoughts, words and acts.
What is right? That which does good to others and to you.
What is wrong? That which doesn’t hurt others or you.
These simple principles help us live
Without worry, but with care for all.
