Stranger journal #3:

Z-ism

• If you treat people nice, generally they will treat you back equally- developed from the Golden rule, it is important, because it would be bad to just go around treating everybody like a jerk.
• If you help somebody out with something, you will be repaid in some other different way- developed from an idea of karma I suppose. the more people you help, the more connections you have.
• Happiness does not fall in your lap, you have to create it- This comes from many different self help books, and motivational speakers. If you think that someone else has to make you happy, you never will be happy.
• Money should be saved, instead of just spending it as fast as you get it- The principle developed based upon observations I've made from other people. It is important, because if you collect tons of debt, you will be stuck in it forever.
• Take things slowly, don't rush them- This comes from things I've noticed, it is better to do a job good, than to do the same job 10 times, but do it poorly.
• Not everyone is a good person- This is based off the many people throughout history that have done crimes and bad things. It is important, because if you completely trust anyone you meet, it could be bad.
• People like to hide things about themselves, whether it is good or bad- Another observation I have found, It is important, because you will never know everything about a person, there is always something new.
