My First Principles -This is the code by which I live my life

My First Principles
This is the code by which I live my life

~~ Someone said my poetry was a bit heavy, (thanks for being honest) ~~
~~ Well the heavy part of my life is in the past. I hope this is more inspirational ~~

I have lived this life for more than fifty years and I hope to live for fifty more
But do I want to live forever? That would be greedy wouldn't it?
I have spent half my life abusing my body and mind
I will spend the rest trying to restore it to some kind of order

I believe all people are equal regardless of colour, race, religion, status, gender, sexuality, status, looks
We are all human here and all on one planet
We have been given the Earth to be our wonderful home,you only get one so do not screw it up
You can't take it back and get another when its knackered!

I believe that we should not hunt any animal for fun even under the banner of sport
A rich man is not automatically happier than a poor man, nor is he any better
Often the opposite is true as a poor man appreciates what little he has and be willing to share it
I do not know how to hate anyone, but you may cease to be my friend if you try hard enough

I will never cause harm to any person or animal intentionally
Yes I do eat some meat, but animals eat each other
I eat about a third of the meat that the average man does
I would never kill any living thing especially for entertainment, not even a fly or spider

Nature has survived for billions of years without us meddling
if a species is designed to go extinct, it will
That is the way of nature on mother Earth
If a species is meant to succeed, it will, many have despite our best efforts to destroy them

All things are cyclical. Everything has a natural rhythm and will re-appear
This is happening now with plants from thousands of years ago
Evolution does not tell the full story or there would be mutant human and monkey skeletons for us to discover

It is wrong to save cute animals and kill badgers, beavers, rabbits and whales
They are just as much part of nature too
We all sometimes say things we do not mean, and do things that we should not do
This is not a reason to judge people or believe that they cannot change

I do not believe that it is the end when we die, I believe that the spirit carries on
I believe that there is inherently good in all people, we all desire to survive and thrive
I do not believe that we are to judged by anyone but ourselves, ever
I have no hatred for any person or animal, only love

I feel that there is a common consciousness that we all have access to
I believe there is other intelligent life in the universe, possibly on Earth too
All you have to do is listen
We should open our minds as well as our eyes and hearts

I believe that all our lives are guided by a conscious force, it could be the creator or guardian angels
I have heard them when I needed to and listened
We should all listen more especially to intuition and voices in our heads
But listen with care and not with intent for greed or lust

Some people in life need help, not punishment, more than anything else they just need someone to listen and not abuse them
We can't all be perfect  all the time, some of us are good at imperfection and loved for it
It is Okay to have to ask someone for help sometimes in your life
Mine has been turned around by people and many are now my very good friends - thank you!
