Rule #1:  Always respect other people, no matter how much you disagree with them.
          Hate only puts you on the low ground, weakening your thinking, lessening
          how others see you.

Rule #2:  When somebody dies, do not say anything bad about them on that day. Wait
          a few days for people to mourn and adjust to the news in their own way.

Rule #3:  When you praise someone, do it aspirationally. Praise them for being what
          you want them to be (greater than they are). They will like that you see
          them this way, but also they will work hard to hide the fact that they
          aren't actually that good... by actually getting that good. It works like
          magic. It's my only truly effective management skill.
		Probably doesn't work on a nation-level though.

I'm sick of the outrage, the hatred (including my own) and the despair it leads to.
I think aiming to be a better person is the path out of that.

I will not address negative comments in this thread for a day or two, or maybe ever.
