RULES FOR BEING HUMAN
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."

7. Others are merely mirrors of you.You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all of this.

Loved You Once - Alexander Pushkin - 1829

Я вас любил: любовь еще, быть может
В душе моей угасла не совсем;
Но пусть она вас больше не тревожит;
Я не хочу печалить вас ничем.
Я вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
То робостью, то ревностью томим;
Я вас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай вам бог любимой быть другим.

I loved you once, and I probably still do,
and for awhile the feeling may remain;
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you once; and the hopelessness I knew,
the jealousy, the shyness -- though in vain --
made up a love so tender and so true
as may God grant you to be so loved again.

I read this and had to put it in my tales.
it is a funny game..hp..why on earth would we spend time caring and interacting with strangers?..why?..is it because it is simpler then real life?..you like someone you show them openly..buy them, place value in points in them, give them gifts you could never give in real life..if you do not like them, hell can block or sell..so why spend the time?..ok it is a thrill but I think it is more.
I think we all have the desire to love and care for each other..but in real life there are so many barriers to that..here no barriers..but also no rules, no rules opens us all to getting hurt...Thumbing is painful..so points show level of effort and care?? So sometimes the game gets blurred..real life feelings hit hp game...no rules..I hope we are being kind!. But more then anything I hope we are learning something from this game. If you value someone..show them. If they are wasting your time...move on..if you have found the love of your life...fight with everything you have...have fun it is a game and then get back into real life and apply same care, loyalty and honesty, hey who knows..reality may be even better
