When it comes to the 10 Commandments, I think of the bible and the story of Moses. I don't mean to offend anyone, I will respect these beliefs. However, when it comes to why you follow something it is because it is the right thing to do. I try to follow the 10 Commandments of the bible, with these being somewhat similar. The main focus of these commandments(above) is to be a better person. These commandments are to show respect to everything and everyone. It is the right thing to do for yourself and others. As the outcomes will only be positive, because it brings unity and kindness among others. So it's better to follow the 10 Commandments, being how you stand and where you come with your heritage.

Kindness

“Kindness is the essence of greatness,”-Joseph B. Wirthlin

“True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.”

-Pathros Patriarch of Antioch & All the East(1846-’94)

When one is acting on kindness and love, their actions are valued. But when one acts for something in return, it is not done so happily. The quote of Pathros states a lot, even for his time. As it is said to not value riches, as they will not always be with you. But your heart and soul will always follow you wherever you go. I really love this quote, it reminds me of a verse relating to this in the bible. You cannot be greedy, and you cannot give with anger or selfish intentions or else what you have done would be meaningless. “For God loves a CHEERFUL giver…”, this would be 2 Corinthians 9:7.  I truly can relate to this, as it’s always valued when you act on love and compassion. But instead seen wrong when wanting riches and gain from that action. You will always be valued from kindness, not by the opposite. I will always remember this quote as well, because it seems to give me understanding.
