This is what you shall do . . .

A collection of 201-related ethos. I will do my best to live up to all of them:


barter real ideas instead of paying for others / embrace the mythology of religious texts / give those people a mirror who take their god literally and let them finally see who god is / sow your selfish ego as a growing young adult /  throw away all that you’ve obtained and fertilize a failing community when you’ve embraced the manhood or womanhood that resides within you / Do not claim to be open minded and not actually be. /  Read books rather than text messages unless you are late for dinner / be empathetic, patient and intelligent not necessarily in that order  /  Read Kurt Vonnegut, and take his teachings about Humanism disguised as science-fiction to heart. We don't know what, if anything, exists beyond this mortal realm. That shouldn't matter. /   Appreciate simplicity but Investigate complexity  /  Pray if you feel enclined to do so, Have songs in your ipod or in your sonnet,  /  You shall maintain integrity at all times, even when it hurts,   /   Question everything. Question books, the Bible..., teachers, lessons, lectures, everything.   /   Don’t be rude; don’t be mean it makes you ugly.   /   Laugh at yourself, more than others.    /   Life is too short  -  If there was ever a cliche to live by, this is the one!   /   Smile at random people daily.   /   Question anyone who says they have the answer.     /   Even while you're reading this, Hollywood plots against you.   /   Begin with the end in mind   /   Scorn those who promote evil.   /   examine an educational system that insists that all students are equally able to succeed.   /    Question the skew on the information relayed by the media.  /    Be skeptical about the wisdom of tattoos and piercings in light of their permanency.   /   Fear Nothing, especially Death, it comes for us all   /    Hate oppression, but not the oppressor, for they are oppressed themselves   /   Appreciation is Love's middle-child.   /   Be a weirdo   /    Be your own seamstress or tailor   /   Do not inject food poisoning into your face   /   Never  never give up.
