Beliefs explained
- Be kind to nature, yourself, people and animals around you. You are important, nature is important, keeping calm is important. A healthy natural world will positively shape your health, feelings and emotions and can lead to a better, faster recovery from the difficulties and fears of life.
- Be charitable to people in actions and with possessions. Many people do not have enough to meet their basic needs. Helping them is important and can give personal satisfaction and pride. It can lead to healthy relationships and hopefully mutual respect.
- Keep trying to be ethical – this is an attitude of not giving up even if you personally make mistakes or people around you make you despair and feel like trashing things around you. It is an idea that from any point, you can make the right decision, be ethical and kind to yourself and those around you. It is an idea of big heartedness and having the possibility of embracing other people with love and forgiveness, provided they give indication it is in their capacity and they can be persuaded to moral action. It does not mean do not monitor people on the edge of moral or immoral action.
- Health is a foundation of action, enjoyment and life itself. Improving and maintaining your own health is an ethical imperative if you are to achieve anything of moral worth.
- Emotions are powerful drivers of action. Shaping your own and others emotions positively, will allow you live a healthier and happier life. Hate often leads to poor and reckless decision making, driving the existing situation worse where kindness, understanding, space, time and thoughtfulness regarding the problem could have dampened and lead to a rational moral way to solve an issue.
- Being your best doesn’t mean trying your hardest at all times, as this seems unsustainable and will probably lead to burnout in many people. It does not also only mean being in one mode and allows for different focuses in terms of priorities and mindsets.
- Enjoying life is an achievement in it’s self, providing it is ethical and doesn’t hurt life, but shows cares and kindness. An example could be laughing at a situation rather than a person.
- Moral bravery is needed when some degree of risk is needed in order to achieve a moral position. An example might be highlighting unethical behaviour in people hurting other people in order to stop the behaviour.
- Whichever ideology you hold to, peace will be the ideal end result.
- Animals are capable of suffering, love, kindness, altruism, friendship, feelings and self-sacrifice for others. They should be treated with deep admiration, care and respect.
- Co-operation enables bidirectional learning, friendship and respect.
- Writing moral words and speaking with moral intent can increase kindness from and within oneself, it does not mean being weak or limp, it can allow and encourage standing up to tyrannical actions with truth, giving evil nowhere to hide. Truth and good are often facilitated by transparency and evil by lies and silence of truth. By speaking truth with respect to victims ultimately and perpetrators a little, peace can be made. Forgiveness is almost always necessary to facilitate peace.
