The Rules.

There is eleven of them.

What are they for? Manipulation? Fundamental parts of the minutia of life? They just exist, and not matter what you do with them, they hold true. Examples? The ultimate goal of testing these was to find if they held true, so we looked for people where that would be the case. We found them.

The Rules:
1. People are stupid: they will believe a lie because they want it to be true, or because they are afraid it is true.

2. The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.

3. Passion rules reason.

4. Pay attention to what people do, not just what they say, deeds often betray lies.

5. Let only logic rule you completely.

6. Life is the present and future, not the past.

7. Deserve to win.

8. Willfully ignoring the truth is treason to yourself.

9. Contradictions do not exist in reality.

10. No one else can make your decisions for you. You alone choose how to live your life.

11. Caring and love always precede hate.

Some are made to be broken, and others there is no choice but to follow. Either way, take care in your decisions, think things through and follow your mind.

And never forget that your life is yours alone.
Rise up and live it.
