True Mind: A Code of Conduct

by Shawn Ashley Wilson

What follows is a certain code of conduct, moral directives, or attempted philosophy of logical reasoning that I personally try to follow. I don't claim to invent any of these ideas, merely collecting those I find that work. I won't preach that these should apply to everyone, I can only share how they apply to me and perhaps others also find this useful. Most importantly, these ideas may change as I grow and learn.

Conclusion

Stay open-minded. Apply rules consistently... if we aren't going to follow some, make sure we know why not and then cross them out.
