~The Tekosh~
These rules must be followed always, unless pronounced in the Estei, in which all priviledges and responsibilities are null and void.
1. Respect others
2. Be couragous
3. Train and perfect mind, body, and soul
4. Practice the Light daily, as life should be taken one day at a time
5. Never give up
6. Do not be lazy
***
1. To respect others means to be actively mindful of the rights and beliefs of all others. There is never a reason to disrespect those who do not disrespect you. You may never force your beliefs on others, but exposing them to yours is not forbidden.
2. Being couragous is about being brave, and not in only dire situations. It's doing the right thing even though it is much harder than taking the easy way out.
3. Always train yourself to better your skills. Teach others if they wish to learn. Work on creating harmony with your mind, body, and soul. True happiness comes from not only reaching such a harmony, but in helping yourself and others to progress in attaining such a state.
4. Live today, feel today, breathe today. Tomorrow should be planned for, but do not forget to enjoy now, because now is all we ever really have. Always pursue the essence of the Light and live it. The Light is everything that is good. It is laughter, learning, love, and everything that makes us smile and be happy.
5. Never give up. If something is right it should be strived for. If something is right and being strived for, there is no excuse to give up. None. Be defeated while trying, but never be defeated because you gave up. Surrendering in order to do more good than continuing the fight would do is not giving up.
6. Laziness is evil. Never embrace it, or risk embracing everything the Druids are against.
