A New Ten Commandments

I've never been what you'd call religious, but if I had to define myself spiritually, I would say that I believe in being a good human being. While that might sound both cliche and broad, I found a great resource that serves as my ten commandments. They focus around good morals and human responsibility. Tell me what you think!


TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR A GLOBAL HUMANISM

1- Proclaim the natural dignity and inherent worth of all human beings.

2- Respect the life and property of others.

3- Practice tolerance and open-mindedness towards the choices and life styles of others.

4- Share with those who are less fortunate and mutually assist those who are in need of help.

5- Use neither lies, nor spiritual doctrine, nor temporal power to dominate and exploit others.

6- Rely on reason, logic and science to understand the Universe and to solve life's problems.

7- Conserve and improve the Earth's natural environment—land, soil, water, air and space—as humankind's common heritage.

8- Resolve differences and conflicts cooperatively without resorting to violence or to wars.

9- Organize public affairs according to individual freedom and responsibility, through political and economic democracy.

10- Develop one's intelligence and talents through education and effort.
