Originally posted by John Lundin, I believe these 10 "commandments" are key to a happy, healthy life.

 1.  Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.

 2.  Remain close to the Great Spirit.

 3.  Show great respect for your fellow beings.

 4.  Work together for the benefit of all mankind.

 5.  Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

 6.  Do what you know to be right.

 7.  Look after the well-being of mind and body.

 8.  Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.

 9.  Be truthful and honest at all times.

10. Take full responsibility for all your actions.
