- I will treat each and every individual I meet as equals.
- I will extend my aid and comfort to those who seek it, regardless of potential personal gain.
- I will be respectful and honest to those around me.
- I will work to embody the spirit of MLK Jr. by judging those around me by the content of their character.
- I will strive to make my relationships with people around me equal, diffuse hostility through speech, and not act with malice towards others.
I spent most of my weekend recovering from an emergency dental procedure, so it was relatively easy to carry out my manifesto. In my interactions with those around me, I took great care to not use cynicism or sarcasm, and kept my typical bluster to a minimum. When you tend to be naturally somewhat arrogant like I am, it can be hard to keep humble. It was actually somewhat refreshing to not get a few sneers or looks when I didn't speak with condescension.
