Greetings. A few hours ago I made a mood asking YOU what I should make a wise post about. They were all good ideas, so I decided to include as many as I could in this one.

Equality
When I look at a user on OldCP (or any game, for that matter), I see a person. Not a rank, title, or username. Of course, I'll address them by their username, but I won't judge them. Bottom line is, we're all human. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We tend to take advantage of our strengths and pity ourselves over our weaknesses. We all have rights, but some are given more rights than others for reasons as silly as a subtitle. Now, some of us say we treat everyone equal, but do they really? Here's a basic example:

You are a user who has no rank, currently (if not, just pretend). You are talking to random users who are not yet your friends. Damen walks in the room. You'd probably treat Damen a liiittle differently than that user. Which is perfectly fine. People aren't supposed to treat everyone the same. You shouldn't treat best friends and worst enemies the same. Equality is not simply "Treating one another the same," but more like "Giving everyone attention and acknowledgement that they need in order to succeed"

Quotes

"When I was 5 years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life." -John Lennon

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

"A winner is a dreamer who never gives up." -Nelson Mandela

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." -Gandhi

Life and Death (But Mostly Life)

Life hurts a lot more than death. I don't know from experience, but I will just tell you that. In life you must suffer injuries, bullies, tragic incidents, and many more challenges. When you die, it's all over (There has been no evidence of other possibilities, and I'm trying not to make this post religious.), isn't it? The tragedy of life is not death, but instead what we let die inside of us while we still live.

Giving up on that big goal. The one that you've always wanted and tried so hard for. You were so close to it, when you gave up. You let the chance of getting that rank or title die right inside of you. If you ever want to be famous, or get anywhere in life, for that matter, never let it die. "It," can be whatever you want it to. Learn from your mistakes, and don't let the past take from what the future has to offer you.

Family

This is where life begins, and love never ends. You laugh, share, play, fight, and love together. Time spent with them is worth every second. Sure, you'll go through tough times with them, but it will end. We all have our highs and lows. Life is a roller coaster, in lots of ways. We have our highs and lows, we are entertained, excited, and show many more emotions. We must be fearless, but most importantly: it's fast. Life will be over before you know it. Your family will be there all the way. They will see your highs and lows, and you will see theirs. The best way to get close with family is to help them through their tough times.

Now, I am not going to be one to instruct you on how to live your life, but trust me, if you live by these basic guidelines with family, your life will be a LOT better.

Conclusion

Wow, you actually read all the way down here? Thanks so much. I hope this helped you, and if this gets kind of successful, I'll be sure to make another! Please give feedback below.
