The Earth's Ten Commandments

The Earth's Ten Commandments, as written by an unknown sane man (I got this in an email, and want to pass it along to you... If only we all kept these, our world would be so much better)

I. Thou shalt love and honour the Earth for it blesses thy life and governs thy survival

II. Thou shalt keep each day sacred to the Earth and celebrate the turning of its seasons.

III. Thou shalt not hold thyself above other living things nor drive them to extinction.

IV. Thou shalt give thanks for thy food, to the creatures and plants that nourish thee.

V. Thou shalt educate thy offspring for multitudes of people are a blessing unto the Earth when we live in harmony.

VI. Thou shall not kill, nor waste Earth's riches upon weapons of war.

VII. Thou shalt not pursue profit at the Earth's expense but strive to restore its damaged majesty.

VIII. Thou shalt not hide from thyself or others the consequences of thy actions upon the Earth.
IX. Thou shalt not steal from future generations by impoverishing or poisoning the Earth.

X. Thou shalt consume material goods in moderation so all may share the Earth's bounty.

Think of your time on earth as being a guest in someones home. Would you visit someone, use up the last of their stuff, destroy their belongings, leave your garbage all over their floor, kill off their pets and plants? I would hope not. Be a considerate guest and your children will be invited back for a visit.
