What's Your Creed?

[Grell Sutcliff]

"perfection is everything."
I'm willing to destroy everything to obtain it and I won't let morals, rights or emotions get in my way.

 

[Tsuki Akechi]

"Remain neutral at all times" this approach has earned me my friends and made it hard to make enemies.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

"Life is war, and we all lose, it's the battles that count."

In other words everything in life is about competing against others or circumstance, celebrate all your victories, learn from all battles lost(situations you don't come out on top of), and as long as you're breathing, keep up the struggle, surrender is out of the question and retreat is never proffitable... after all running away from your problems lets them build up steam and come after you again harder.


also
"Treat everyone with respect, and if you are gonna ruin someone's day make sure it's for a damn good reason and do it right."

in other words, respect is something everyone deserves on a basic level, this may be respect due to them by station, by accomplishment, or the kind of respect you give a dangerous wild animal... or if you are in charge and they're not all that bright, the respect you give a good weapon or tool...
and if you have to fire someone, or dump someone, or give them bad news, make sure you do it face to face, and don't soft coat it, people strangely take harsh truths better than prettily coated ones, it's easier to get over something when you get it straight from the get go.


I have many life philosophies and creedos, and I live by a complicated yet straight forward code, those are my main two.

 

[ultrachicken]

"You don't live in an active war-zone, you have nothing to complain about"

So if things aren't at their absolute shittiest, then they're perfect?

OT: Don't go looking for enemies, but don't let the ones who find you steamroll you.

 

[Wuggy]

"Life is chaotic and meaningless fluff, take it as it comes and make the best of it."

 

[Tselis]

Leave me alone to live how I want, and I'll do the same for you.

That pretty much says it all. That's me in a nutshell.

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Well The list would be far to long but for a short, strong, comprehensive creed I have to go with dont be a dick.

 

[Swny Nerdgasm]

I have two, both are quotes, one's from a movie and the second is from a book series, here they are.

"All you gotta do is to use your instincts. How do you think a lion knows how to tackle a gazelle? It's written, it's code written in their DNA, says "Tackle the gazelle." Believe it or not, in every man there's a code written that says "Tackle drunk bitches." - 40 Year Old Virgin

"I operate on one principle: you own your own life, and that means you're free to do anything you want with that life as long as you don't interfere with other people's freedom to live their lives. It means you own your own body and can do anything you want to it-pierce it, fill it with drugs, set it on fire-your call. Same with sex. As long as there's no force involved it's none of my business how you get off." - Repairman Jack

 

[childsa93]

As long as it harms no-one
Do what you will

I haven't found a situation where this does not apply in my life.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

"Don't be a ****. Try to make people happy unless it directly interferes with rule one."

~ Intelligence and Romance Over Brute Force and Scepticism ~

This, but replace skepticism with cynicism. Which is also conveniently the description of the Key to the Tardis badge I got down there.

I keep a positive outlook on life. Some may call me an optimist. I consider myself a realist, because, well,

 

[Joccaren]

I have too many beliefs to sum up in one sentence, but 'Keep an open mind' would be the closest I could come. An open mind will serve you well whatever you do, and will never disappoint you.

 

[AdeptaSororitas]

"Love everyone, even if you don't want to, and never stop loving the one who means the most"

I'll take that to the grave with me.

 

[MoNKeyYy]

Life is just waiting to die.

Hey, it's true.

I prefer, your existance is three things, birth, life, then death. One has already happened and one happens no matter what, so put the extra 66% into the one that matters.

 

[Astoria]

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted". Yes I know it's stolen but really these words sum up my beliefs better than I ever could. Either that or it would be "Everything happens for a reason".

 

[hittite]

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

And when applicable:
Rule 37: There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.'

Ah, need to smack my long-term memory around a bit, teach it not to mess around like that. Or, stop taking double the dosage of my sleeping pills, still staying awake and then posting on teh interwebs.

I got the quote from a cutesy youtube vid I can't find the link to now. Actually, I can't find the document I keep links in. Hmm, where'd I put that long-term memory again *looks-for-broccoli*

 

[Instant K4rma]

Billy Joel says it best.

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints."

 

[Betancore]

'Life is objectively meaningless, but I'm okay with that.' Because, you know, Sisyphus.

Along with that comes also 'this is all your fault' and 'you chose this, now deal with it, because there is no god and you are ultimately responsible for everything that you do. So suck it up.'

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Life is an asshole
So you don't have to be.
