So here are the principles that I try to live by. My own personal code of honor, or "morality," if you insist. Part of it was the way I was raised, and part of it was arrived at after much soul-searching.

Tolerance: My sense of honor applies to me and me alone. Other people have different philosophies, and that's okay. I try to learn 'em and understand 'em (and allow for their little quirks), but diversity is what makes the world fun.

Be open to new ideas and try new things. Do not assume you have everything perfect.

Compassion: Helping other people is good. Just about all systems of philosophy or religion include this point, and I agree. I feel pain when I cause pain to others, so I try not to do that.

Expect no reward or praise. Kindness fosters kindness..

Moderation: I have worth, but not much more so than any other person out there. I should get my share, but I don't necessarily deserve more. And fighting others to reduce their share is usually wrong. The best way to solve it is to work together to increase everyone's share.

Pride in your own accomplishments is acceptable. But you must not expect anyone else to care, and you must not solicit praise.

Self-reliance: The world is not just or unjust, and the sooner you come to terms with that, the better. If you can deal with the bad times and come back to yourself, you'll be stronger and wiser. But always count on yourself first.

Any aid you may receive from friends, family, or disembodied spirits should be looked upon as an unexpected gift -- be grateful.
It is not a sin to ask for help, if you need it. But asking for help when you don't need it is a failing.
Blaming your mistakes on anything but yourself is unacceptable.

Integrity: I try to keep my word, complete my tasks, and never be caught in a lie (which means I never lie about important things.) To be trusted makes me feel good, so I do all I can to be trustworthy.

Other people may or may not be trustworthy. I usually trust until given reason not to. But In crucial matters, I make contingencies -- if they fail me, I can rely on my own self.

I dislike the words "good" and "evil", and I don't believe there is any embodiment of either out there, tempting people to act one way or another. Everyone is responsible for his own actions. But I admit that there are people out there who deliberately hurt others. If you are one of these, I will avoid you, or fight you if you try to do it to me or those I care about.

A "sin" is an action that goes against these principles.
