ten to attend to
1
Consider the consequences first. In other words, don’t make matters worse.
2
Prevent harm before it begins. If no other choice, pick the least of sins.
3
When possible, choose to refrain and don’t inflict gratuitous pain.
4
Respond in proportion against without violence, unless in defence.
5
Respect the autonomy of others. It’s their life after all, their “druthers.”
6
Do what you say, be worthy of trust. Don’t deceive or mislead. Be honest.
7
Keep commitments and confidences. Be loyal and faithful to promises.
8
Give what, in return, you’d expect: fair treatment and basic respect.
9
Treat no one as mere means or tool. They, like you, aren’t fools to use.
x
Act in the interest of those in your care. Before passing-desire put lasting welfare.
