These rules have no specific purpose, but will serve you well as humor, and are not a bad perspective to use when dealing with the vagaries of daily life.
- Never wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
- Never argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
- Observe everything; admire nothing.
- It's easier to obtain forgiveness than it is permission.
- Rarely resist the opportunity to keep your mouth shut.
- Don't ask the question if you cannot live with the answer.
- If you want a new idea, read an old book.
- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
- Never have a philosophy which supports a lack of courage.
- Never look back unless you intend to go that way.
i follow #4 in real life, but wonder how true it is in a bdsm perspective?

I knew that rule would raise an eyebrow when I posted it, and I agree it often does not apply in the bdsm context.
ReplyDeletei know there are times when i've gone my own way, made my own decisions. while i might have enjoyed it at the time, in retrospect, it was never worth the repercussions that resulted from having to ask for forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful list. How much better off we would all be if we used a little more common sense in our daily lives.

LOVED IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like these rules except perhas #3 and soem ohow the idea of not admiring some things seems to lack the ability to committ or maybe to love. I can't exactly put my finger on it but I think my life would be less fullfilling if I did not amire some things
