Yes, you do, if your salad is kick arse potato salad with mayo, crunchy bacon and sun dried tomatoes! At least, that's my experience.Daniel Janhagen said:
My own rule for living is simple. Be a decent person. Or put more negatively: don't be a dick.
It seems to work.

Is that you Flonne?
In all honesty though, an attitude like that is quite rare in this cynical day and age. While I think it's incredibly dangerous personally, I wish you all the best with that candid, carefree spirit.
I simply can't imagine it. Harboring a harsh and bitter enmity toward all things is just so...refreshing and wonderful, it instills a youthful vigor and a pleasant pragmatism. I wouldn't dare recommend it to others, but I could never change that part of me.
I've had a lot of different rules throughout my life ranging from [i/]Everything is a comedy[/i] to generic stuff like [i/]Keep your friends close and your enemies closer[/i]
Over time, every rule I have had has had a major exception and been rendered useless.
Except one.
One single life rule that stands above the others as a shining example.
Seriously. If everyone on Earth lived by this, everything would be better. Obviously you can't do it all the time. But if people just [i/]tried[/i] things would be fantastic.

'Don't be a dick' seems to cover just about everything. It's not saying you have to be some saint and create world peace or anything, you can live however you want, just not at the cost of others.
'Live as if you're going to die tomorrow, dream as if you're going to live forever' is another good one. The dreaming part I'm good at, not so much the living part.

This saves a lot of my time on the internet.
1.Do not argue with people on the internet
2. if you must argue, do not try to argue with people who use anecdotal evidence
3. When you argue if you must use more 4 sentences or a single paragraph then you are wasting your time
4. party hard

I've always preferred Hope for the best; expect the worst to the one in the OP.
But anyway since that's taken, Never show that you have any emotions beyond subtle things like a smile. Showing emotion will result in people exploiting them and more misery will ensue.

To overcome adversity you must first overcome yourself.
Never borrow or lend anything.
Only ever trust a small handful of people.
Be polite.
[sub]Have a plan to kill everyone you meet[/sub]
And on a less serious note: Sit back, put your feet up and go with it.

1. It'll be fine in the end. If it's not fine, it's not the end
2. Trust but verify.
3. Don't trust anyone.
Don't ask me how my brain reconciles 2 and 3. It just does.
