A 90 year life, on paper - one circle per year:
The second best we can do in this would is to strengthen the relationship between people we care about.
Accept your Family and Friends, with all of their flaws. They are one in the same - the person and the actions.
If you find yourself without Friends and Family, create your own. If you measure and find yourself surrounded by something other than like-minded people, change this. If you are overwhelmed by an excess of people, forgive yourself, let them go, and rebuild with the one’s you truly care about.
If at all possible try to be present, in person, when each of your Family and Friends pass away.
If you decide to be close to someone, never leave. Remember, if you start something, finish it, including your friendships and your peace.
Don’t provoke conflict with others. You’ll likely cost them time with their group, and spend your time as well.
A person can only belong to one group. One day they will need to decide which one it is and by that decision hurt the Others. Find your group and stay with it until the end.
Remember the Children and the Elders. They are members of your group as well.
Be forgiving of mistakes, but seek the final positive outcome. Don’t teach a Friend of Family member that leaving a task undone is acceptable. This will impact them with dealing with others and, by connection, you.
It’s okay to mix money and friends when your group is a healthy size and the trust is established.
Don’t let your Friends or Family think they aren’t appreciated. If you don’t appreciate them, remedy this. Part of being in a group is knowing your role.
If you aren’t happy at work, let your Friends and Family know and get help looking for ways to change this.
Always accompany a Friend or Family member when they are sick or in the hospital. Divide the effort among your friends if necessary.

Others do not have enough information to properly judge you or your actions. If they do, remember their judgement is not based on a clear understanding of you. Discard it if necessary.
Hurtful insults come from people who lack understanding or are trying to exploit you through your emotions. Take note, but disregard the attempt.
Don’t worry about what the Others say or think about you. Your emotions are Yours, not Others.
Do things with your Group. Try to take each opportunity to be with people you care about and enjoy. Life moves quickly. If you could the number of moments you have left, they are actually quite small.
If you are 21, visit your parents 2 times a year, here are the number of visits you have left with your parents if they are 60 and live to 90:
Stay close to your Friends and Family, mentally and physically.
Do not choose your Family and Friends by hobby, career, sports team, religion upbringing, politics, or any other man-made association.
Choose your Family and Friends, not by blood, by color of skin, but by Likeness of Mind. “I like this person” is the most reliable measure for lasting friendship.
Trust your instincts about a person. Don’t be afraid of offending someone if you don’t feel right about them.
Don’t be afraid to express your concerns to a Family Member or Friend. If they do something that hurts you or you do not agree with, your other interactions will create the trusted relationship needed to help come to a good resolution.
If you are going to help someone, help fully.
We cannot, as humans, guarantee that our effort to help more than our Self, our Family, and our Friends is actually helpful. Donate $100, and $10 may hurt Others directly, $10 may be stolen from Others, $25 may go unused, and the rest may go to a company you do not agree with ethically.
Support your Friends and Family. Patronize their businesses above all others; listen and understand; provide constructive feedback; sit with them in times of need.
If you devote yourself to an effort, be certain it is directly for your Self, your Family, or your Friends.
If you are unable to remember a person’s details, and unwilling to remedy this, they are not a Friend. Treat them as an Other - respectfully, but appropriately.
Finish what you start. Don’t start what you won’t finish.
The Art of Peace is to be in control of your Self, to love your Family, to appreciate and support your Friends, and to treat all Others respectfully, but appropriately.
Consider four groups of people.
As a human, your natural order is to be with other humans.
Our minds are as physical as they are abstract.
Most things have a natural order, described by basic principles. Peace and prosperity come from finding and following this order. Exploit comes from deliberately causing disorder.
