The Ethics

My attempt at an “antifragile” (Nassim Taleb) system of ethics:

1. That which attempts to destroy me only makes me stronger

Not to shirk away from pain, suffering and difficulty. Instead to take it in good stride; the forces of stress and hardship actually make you stronger, more beautiful and more elegant.

2. All is petty

Almost everything is petty, small and not a big deal. In other words, “Don’t cry over spilt milk”.

Also, see others as below you. Thus it is your magnanimous duty to be exceedingly tolerant, patient and strong in the mind and vision of others.

3. To empower others

To me, my end game is to empower others and humanity. And we must channel our own ego and self esteem in order to do this. No ego and self esteem, no great deeds or things accomplished!
