Hi Ken,

Looks like I get to be first in responding.

My belief system is based upon philosophical Taoism.

We have no dogma and the closest thing I can relate to as being a tenet is this:

Observe the processes of Nature and learn these processes. Conduct yourself in such a manner that you have observed that brings contentment and long life and avoid those things that bring discontent and leads to an early death.

In a nutshell, that's all there is to it.

Peace & Love!

Thank you JimBob.

If I may paraphrase and break it down into easy to use chunks.

Observe the processes of nature and learn.
Live your life as it makes you happy
Avoid that which is detrimental to health and happiness.

I am adding these to the original post as three tenets. When another philosophy/religion holds these same tenents I will make notes to reflect such.

I find it curious there was no mention of how to apply that in dealing with other people in social environments.
