Things like the 10 Commandments, not to steal, not to hurt, etc. I think most carry them inside. Actually everyone of us, if we truly listen to our heart. Only people who have lost their connection to themselves do not have this, therefore kill people, hurt people, steal things. I don't think we need any rules to guide us, if we knew how to listen to ourselves. In the end we don't want to be treated in a certain way, and if we treated others how we wanted to be treated, we wouldn't do 'bad things'. In the end, people doing bad things on a micro and meta level still has lots of reasons which somehow 'justify' their behavior. If its the guy who was beaten by his parents, his childhood ruined, not knowing how to socialize in his adult years, who then does 'bad' things, or if its our society, our politicians, who are acting like kids in a kindergarden, fighting over territory, over money, over power, another bad aspect, which if seen in the whole aspect, can be understood. I think in the end, every action is natural, even if it means that some people get hurt somehow. Every action is a reaction, and everything has somehow naturally evolved, only our mind making the judgements. But in the end, we live in our little world, where we do care about our people, and should therefore not stop listenitng to our hearts. Just like the bad behavior of people is a natural progression, so is our love and good behavior we show. In the end we do make a difference! For the good or the worse!! my 2 cents ^_^ I believe we have in our hearts concepts like good and bad, right and wrong.
