What are your values?

...They had the chance to know who God really was, to be a friend like Moses, but they choose a strange system of promises instead, which they never kept as history tells...

Shoot Them Later

There's a lot of vows in this thread to be "good."

Israel made the same mistake at Mt Sinai. They wanted to be removed from the presence of God, which made them quake in their sandals.
On the other hand Moses wanted to see his face.

But the Israelites, who fled the scene and had a rebellious party, were the ones who vowed to be good, when it was not required to do so.

They had the chance to know who God really was, to be a friend like Moses, but they choose a strange system of promises instead, which they never kept as history tells.

Humanism raised its ugly head at Mt Sinai, once again, the human race isn't interested in being friends with God, instead it chooses to rebel, and then pretends that it is able to spontaneously produce goodness, as if God is dead.

If we are friends with God, we will not need to take any ridiculous self righteous vows, which don't even last till Monday morning.

Fuck being "good". I leave that to the religious.

Be stingy about making promises but impeccable about keeping them once they're made.

Fix the problem that keeps popping into your head, even if it scares the crap out of you.

Show up and do the work.  Even if it isn't in your job description, help a co-worker if you can.

You can have anything you want but you can't have everything you want.  Choose something you love and go for it.

Focus on the things that are within your control.  Worrying about the unchangeable and the uncontrollable will not make you happy.

Say hi to your neighbours and take the time to learn their names.  (The names of their pets, too.)

Wait a bit longer, save up a few more dollars and buy quality things.

Irony is superior to sarcasm.
