The Ten Commandments

Once you depart from the Ten Commandments as being the foundation of right and wrong, you are in a free fall.

Randall Terry 

In my opinion, there is probably no better set of moral laws then The Ten Commandments.  God has provided us with ten straight forward laws that we should follow.  If everyone in the world took to these laws, the world would be a much better place to live.  Here is a list of the simplified Ten Commandments:

1.  Put god first

2.  Worship god only

3.  Use god's name with respect

4.  Remember god's sabbath

5.  Respect your parents

6.  Do not hurt or kill people

7.  Be faithful in marriage

8.  Do not steal

9.  Do not lie

10.  Do not be envious of others

This was from an article  entitled 15 things you should give up to be happy http://www.purposefairy.com/3308/15-things-you-should-give-up-in-order-to-be-happy/

I especially liked number 15:

15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations. Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.  You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

Introvert

I have been called weird and crazy.  Some have suggested that I lack social skills.  Maybe this is true, but I believe I'm just an introvert.  An introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.  Introverts are hard to get to know and may feel uncomfortable around other people who they don't know well. 

Other characteristics of an introvert include:

• Very self-aware
• Thoughtful
• Enjoys understanding details
• Interested in self-knowledge and self-understanding
• Tends to keep emotions private
• Quiet and reserved in large groups or around unfamiliar people
• More sociable and gregarious around people they know well
• Learns well through observation

Introverts make up about 25 percent of the population, that's why we are not easily understood by most.  Here's a quick video that sums up our personality:
