We are living in strange, violent times

Here are a couple of my own rules and guidances I try to live my life to, in no particular order, with the attempt to do something good:

• Talk to your neighbours, try to be friends
• Keep in touch with your friends and family
• Say to your loved ones you love them every day
• Keep all channels open, even if you disagree strongly; that means tend to bridges instead of burning them
• Keep an open mind; read articles from multiple sources; use RSS feeds!
• Step away from Facebook and other social media from time to time
• Listen and think before opening your mouth
• If you see something, say something
• Do it right the first time; think before you do
• Take a First Aid course
• Donate blood
• Laugh as much as possible
• Hug as much as possible
• Enjoy life everyday as good as you can
• Learn, be curious; take course online; check out Khan Academy
• Be constructive and moving-forward
• Don’t hate, show compassion
• Don’t judge anyone or assume you know how they feel
• Don’t hurt peoples feelings
• Take care of the less fortunate; don’t ignore homeless people
• Take deep, long breaths and relax
• Take care of your body, eat healthy and exercise
• Wear sunscreen
• Share and care; give away your old stuff
• Respect authorities and police as they might save your life someday
