Labor, pass your genes, then die. The formula for the civilized man is
simple. Things to do between the confused parts. How should you act? When
do you get married and have children? What should you do when your boss is
angry? Friends bad for you?
The charge has been particularly heavy on the man of the middle class,
mostly because it is necessary for him to be forces successfully and
socially respectable to conquer its inherent pride. This may seem
impossible, but as far as ancient Egyptian New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC), the
job had already been divided into memes easily digestible, ready to share
with his social equal.
ANY The instruction is the advice of a father to his son. It was intended
to teach the average young men habits that will ensure their success in a
stratified society. What is unique about this teaching text is that the
public is free to criticize these habits. However, over 3,000 years later,
I can not pretend they are not yet effective.
1. Marry young
Take a wife while you are young, it is a son for you; It should bare for
you while you are young, it is good to make people. Blessed is the man
whose people are many, it is praised because of its offspring.
We can not all be ubermensch pyramid construction, but we all have the
natural ability to overcome our own mortality.
2. Repeat appropriate observances
Observe the feast of your god, and repeat his season, God is angry if
neglected.
If you believe in Osiris, Jesus or Superman & # 8212; you have the ability
to exercise some sort of control over many things that seem beyond your
influence. Follow the pattern of behavior, try to imitate your supernatural
ideal, and you will avoid a chaotic life.
3. Avoid women of ill repute
Beware of a woman who is a stranger, no one knows his city; Do not look
when it passes, do not know her carnally. A deep water whose course is
unknown, as is a woman away from her husband. "I'm pretty," she said to you
every day, "When she has no witnesses; She is ready to ensnare you, a great
mortal crime when it is heard.
The nature of this woman was elucidated millennia before matching profile
picture with you on tinder. That's millions of men who have had their egos
inflated stupidity by the same female archetype & # 8212; a level of
responsiveness without dignity.
4. Do not discuss
In a quarrel do not speak, Your silence will serve you well.
Does a person never thanked you for correcting because they enjoyed the
learning experience and admire the extent of your knowledge? People do not
want you to surprise them, and certainly do not want you to make them feel
ignorant.
5. Do not take to drink
Do not indulge in drinking beer, lest you say the wrong word and do not
know what you say.
This soothing lotion fresh throat is an essential form of nutrition for the
average Egyptian slave. There is no need for you to flip further than the
middle class.
6. Use friendship as an opportunity to improve your character
Keep away from a hostile man, Do not let it be your comrade; Befriend the
one that is right and true, the one you saw equities. If his matches
correctness, Friendship will be balanced.
The friend from high school who told you about this time, he stabbed a guy
in the head with a ball point pen you can have fun, but it was your
Nietzsche-quoting-ROK & # 8211; Reading friend gym that you improved.
7. Save selfishly
Let your hand to preserve what is in your home, wealth accrues to guard it;
Let your hand not spread to strangers, lest turn loss for you. If wealth is
placed where it bears interest, it is your redoubled; Make a warehouse for
your own wealth, your people will find on your way.
Poverty in the developing world is still attributed to the man of selfish
middle class. " In fact, selfishness is not a characteristic of the poor,
who are unwise with their money.
8. Tillage
Learn more about how a man who undertakes to build his house. Make a
garden, place a patch, in addition to your topsoil; Trees in them as
shelter in your home. Fill your hand with all the flowers as the eye can
see; We need all of it is good fortune not to lose them.
ancient literature of the Middle East is a common tradition of men idealize
as a gardener or caretaker of the natural world. There may be some value in
this hobby that would be worth engaging in.
9. Stay away from the herd
Do not go into a crowd if you are in an uproar, and about to come to blows.
Do not go anywhere near, they keep away from the tumult, lest you will be
brought before the court, when an inquiry is made.
Just as the reason for joining a gang does not appeal to the man of
thought, if a group of people can reduce the idea to motivate their
behavior to a color, a dress or slogan; it is probably a poorly designed,
riddled idea of error.
10. House superiors
Do not talk back to a higher angry, Give it his way; Speak softly when he
speaks sharply, the remedy that clams heart. Responses are fighting sticks,
and your strength collapses; Do not offend your heart. You come back rent
soon, When its time to rage has passed.
The ancient Egyptian could not lose his job or be promoted but you can.
Common sense should dictate that you control your mood and quietly move up.
Conclusion
The instructions at all are easier to remember than they are to
habituation. This is because they are not intended to flatter. Ordinary
people share common experiences regardless of the country or period of
human history in which they live. His intent, I believe, was to lighten the
burden of the existence of the middle class of those who are capable of
learning.
