My Policies about life and how it should be lived (List Incomplete)

And no, i dont give a fuck abt what anyone has to say about them.

And I shall expand on each of the points over time. Some of these are long formed notions I have, others developed due to recent happenings in my life. I'm pretty sure I will add to and modify these rules as the years go by. Needless to say i'm a bit pissed and irritated. I have honestly had enough of being selfless and doing things for people without caring for returns. For far too long I have modified myself and my life to suit those of people I care most about.I really need to start living for myself for a change. So here are the new Rules:
  1. Shun Idealism. Be your own man.
  2. Learn to accept facts.
  3. Try everything in Life. There IS a right time for it all.
  4. Remember, It's not who you are inside but what you do that defines you.
  5. If someone is cool to you, be ubercool back. If they're neutral, be cool ; but if they mess with you make sure they rust in peace.
  6. Don't expect anything from anyone.
  7. The stem of all trouble between two people is expectations and them not being fulfilled.
  8. Nothing Lasts, But nothing is lost. Life goes on.
  9. Love and respect your parents, they love you, know you and care for you more than most can even hope for.
  10. Never do something to someone that you wouldnt want happening to yourself.
  11. If you do, accept responsibility, repent, move on; if possible try and make it up to the person.
  12. But only if the person is worth it.
  13. Think. You have been given a brain, use it.
  14. If you fall, always analyze why.
  15. Nothing is Perfect. Not even these rules.
  16. Make the best of whatever soup you have landed in. Rest assured, a lot of people are in much deeper shit.
  17. Mix realism and optimism.
  18. If you aren't doing something wholeheartedly, there is no point in doing it.
  19. Be Honest. To yourself and everyone else around you. Few things hurt more than lies.
  20. Mental/emotional pain is always greater than or equal to physical pain.
  21. Avoid giving either.
  22. The human mind is like a rubber band. There is only as much shit it can take before reaching a Breaking Point. Make your brain like that.
  23. People are selfish. Well obviosuly, you too.
  24. Never again care for someone more than they care back. You've done it before and very well know how much it hurts.
  25. De-sensitize yourself. Again. The Emotional Plane is where you belong.
  26. Get your priorities straight. And only one person can be your top priority. You.
  27. If someone is special to you, make them feel so.
