B.I.B.L.E. (basic instructions before leaving Earth)

Basically this is just a list of how I think people should try to live. Not in an order of importance, just as they came to me. Parts of this may mean different things to different people, hopefully that's the beauty of it. Personal impersonality I guess.

Thinking about using black vinyl and putting this on a white wall somewhere.

Very similar to my list of hates. I think I love listing things a bit too much.
