Set your house in perfect order before.......


............you criticize the world.   A few excerpts from Rule 6:

Consider your circumstances.  Start small.  Have you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered to you?  Are you working hard on your career, or even your job, or are you letting bitterness and resentment hold you back and drag you down?  Have you made peace with your brother?  Are you treating your spouse and your children with dignity and respect?  Do you have habits that are destroying your health and well-being?  Are you truly shouldering your responsibilities?  Have you said what you need to say to your friends and family members?  Are there things that you could do, that you know you could do, that would make things around you better?
     Have you cleaned up your life?
     If the answer is no, here's something to try:  Start to stop doing what you know to be wrong.  Start stopping today. 

--------------------------------------------------

Life is short, and you don't have tome to figure out everything on your own.  The wisdom of the past was hard-earned, and your dead ancestors may have something useful to tell you.

--------------------------------------------------

Have some humility.  If you cannot bring peace to your household, how dare you try to rule a city?
