I try to live by the Golden Rule. Notice I said "try" because I'm not always successful but I DO try.

When we become able to be honest with ourselves, we will be ourselves. No dissembling. No deceit.

Yep! Keeps down dissention and I don't like a lot of debate either.

John 15: 12-13

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

On Happiness
1. The universe is pervaded by nature, subject to its indisputable control.
2. It is impossible to enjoy anything not given us by nature.
3. Renounce, do not desire, anything not given us by nature.
4. It follows that we do not covet the possessions or privileges of others. --Inspired by Gandhi who previously had difficulties justifying untouchables

I have no philosophy to live by.

When I turned 21 my wise Grandpa heard me talking about going out with friends. He figured this meant a bar so he softly said
out of the blue
If you want a peach, don't go to a lemon tree.
It took me a minute and I realized he meant, if you want a decent man don't look for him in a bar.
He always made me think for myself, never TOLD me what to do.

I sort of prefer Honey Crisp apples myself

I bet you are so immersed in it, so familiar with it for such a long duration of time that you are no longer aware of it, but you do have a philosophy by which you live.

Absolutely not.
