I’m sure everyone always questions if what they are doing is right. Was this the right
thing to do? What could have I done different? Everyone lives by different rules. Some can say
family comes first in any situation, but others might say the best thing to do is think about
everyone else. The definition of a good person is different for everyone Some might follow the
duty framework while others follow the consequentialist framework. Following what is best for
everyone is what I think is right. Being the best version of yourself and thinking of others while
decision making is what matters the most.
Treating everyone equally despite religion, race, or disability, respecting others, helping
each other, giving back, wishing the best, being kind, caring for the environment, and making
peace and not war all fall under the category of thinking of others while decision making. Being
kind to everyone despite of how they look and what they believe is a rule everyone should follow
because we all deserve a chance at being who we really are. Today, we see a lot of judgement
based on stereotypes. People of color get judged because they are not white. People who believe
in different religions get judged. People who move to different places to get a better future get
judged. If the world was just a little more kind, we would all be happy with ourselves and not
feel the need to be so violent against others. If we all follow the rules of being kind to others, the
world would be a better place and many people would be at peace. If people would just care
more about others and their environment, not only would human beings be happy but so would
animals. A lot of animals and humans lose their homes because people don’t care enough. We
should all think about each other and have a positive mindset.
Another set of rules I believe we should live by are not giving up and if your contribution
isn’t positive then don’t contribute at all. People should think about others but also about
themselves. People should focus on what can benefit others and themselves as well and not give
up on their beliefs. Not giving up is something everyone should follow and making their
contribution positive is a rule to live by because it is important to have some self focus.
In conclusion, the rules to live by that I listed are very important because everyone should
be kind, be helpful, and make a positive contribution to life. If we all just help each other out and
think about each other more, we can make the world a better place. We can help others be the
best version of themselves and help everyone be happy. If we all just accept each other for who
we are, we can all be better people. We can be better people if we follow the 10 rules I listed.
