Tenets of Faith

1. Peace. you must remove yourself from the strife and chaos.
2. Balance is Peace.  Only in balance is there peace, excess cause chaos. this includes rules that go against this. laws to the excess remove peace and freedom.
3. laugh. to laugh is holy and to have a good time is divine.  
4. Share. if you have something that other do not have and they need. you should share with them. sharing with other keeps things in balance and makes others happy.
5. Truth and lies.  The truth is a two-way street, you can tell the truth and hurt someone in the process. you can lie and do the right thing. There has to be balance in this.
