B. Convictions
What is the range of your heartfelt actions? That is, what are you convictions? These are beliefs, actions, values, etc., for which you are willing to risk your life, even to the point of putting yourself in harm’s way and/or sacrificing your life. Here are some opening notions to stimulate your self-reflection.

o I am willing to die for my country.
o I am willing to kill others to protect my country.
o I am ready to protect my family, even at the cost of my own life.
o I would never lie.
o I would never lie in a situation where someone else might suffer physical harm.

o I would use violence for a just cause.

o No one has the right to tell me what to do.
o If I consider a law immoral, I will not comply, no matter what the risks or penalties.
o I would never knowingly break a law. I respect all legal authorities.
o I am prepared to lay down my life for my neighbor, in a perilous situation.

o I see Others as my Intimate Enemy.
o I am comfortably at-home here on Earth.
o I would never intentionally pollute any aspect of the Earth.
o I would never take a life, not even support an abortion.
o No one is perfect. I strive to be non-judgmental about someone until they prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they are wrong, have erred or are immoral.

o There is no such thing as the “Common Good.”
o I’m here to serve others, pure and simple. Life doesn’t make sense, but I can make sense out of Life!

o The best each of us can do is give and receive pleasure. Whenever I can, that is how I judge why I do something, that is, to obtain and give pleasure.
o It’s a fact, this “War between the Sexes”!
o As long as no one’s health is harmed, any high-risk or out-of-the-mainstream physical, sexual or psychological act is okay. Be healthy and play!
o When I am in a society with values other than my own, I comply with them. If something is legal there but not in my own society, that’s okay with me.
