I like lists of wise recommendations and all the many forms they come in. Everything from the code of Hammurabi or the Ten Commandments to Chicken Soup for the Soul. At this point I think they are quite useful and deserving of attention and mostly also compliance… with a grain of salt. I’m suspicious that they may suggest a subliminal message. Namely that if you comply well enough you’ll be saved from calamity. And the most pernicious corollary that if things don’t work out it’s because you didn’t comply well enough!
Ah, yes. All of it.
