The rules of Human Being

[Pravin Kumar]

The Rules of Being Human.





1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate
it, but it will be

yours

for the entire period.



2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in an
informal school called

Life. Each day in this

school, you will have the opportunity to learn
lessons. You may like the

lessons or think them

irrelevant and stupid.



3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a
process of trial and

error. Experimentation. The

"failed" experiments are as much a part of the process
as the experiment

that ultimately "works".



4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will
be presented to you in

various forms until you have learned it. You can then
go on to the next

lesson.



5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of
life that does not

contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are
lessons to be learned.



6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there"
has become a "here,"

you will simply obtain another "there" that will again
look better than

"here."



7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love
or hate something

about

another person unless it reflects something you either
love or hate about

yourself.



8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have
all the tools and

resources you need. What you do with them is up to
you. The choice is

yours.



9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to Life's
questions lie inside

you. All you need to do

is look, listen and trust.



10. You will forget all this.

I completely understand these rules. They are universal, but for whatever reason, I have found that most people of today just don't understand what it means to learn from life. Thank you for posting these- sometimes I even forget them.

Thanks for posting The Rules. Sometimes I need a reminder!

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.

So don't make fun of other people's appearances because it is not their worst aspect. And no one chooses how they will look in life so do not blame them for being ugly or fat or colored.

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you either
love or hate about yourself.

If you call someone ugly, you are coldhearted, and therefore ugly. Having said that, I am ugly. But ugly is good sometimes, makes you unique...

why do you allow repetition of a post,

[seadrenea]

Why is it that these rules seem to be wise only after you have lived soooo long!
How do you get this message across to the very young?

And how is it that I can only hate those things about others that I hate about myself, when I don't do the things I hate about others? Isn't that why I hate those things?

Actually, I don't hate at all. It is a complete waste of energy.

[missbrenda]

This is soooooooooo true and thanks for the post.

[stan]

Maybe because you don't understand-you do understand.

[phoenixfiredragon]

Haha, great post!
