13 Rules for Being Human

 I love Reels on Facebook / Instagram. Oh yes, they're often totally mindless and a complete waste of time, but I like them. They're distracting and absorbing. For as much junk that I've watched, I have also gained. I've learned some cool woodworking tricks, I've discovered cooking and baking recipes, ideas and techniques and I thoroughly enjoy the biokinetic / functional movement / range of motion clips. How to make mini fried eggs and getting avo out of the skin without resorting to peeling back the skin (which I've always done) are some of the recent gems that I now use regularly.

This one came up a day or two ago. "13 Rules for Being Human" 

The guy who eloquently delivered the rules said they come from "ancient Indian scriptures" that have been passed down. They're also in business books, adopted by motivational coaches and written up on shareable images on the internet in any number of rules from nine to 13... Wherever they have come from, they're pretty decent. The Reel came at a good time for me to listen and consider each one.
