Are my guiding principles healthy and robust?

Marcus Aurelius in his book "Meditations" says: "Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about. If it is good to say or do something, then it is even better to be criticized for having said or done it. Are my guiding principles healthy and robust? On this hangs everything." Book 7, #3. Are my guiding principles healthy and robust? For truly on THAT hangs everything. I've been sitting and thinking about There...God knows why I do it, I am the ultimate glutton for punishment. I think in my life, justice, honor, wisdom and altruism have to be the greatest of what qualities I wish to possess as a human being.

For April Fools day, they put cat ears on dogs and made them meow. Oh Joy. I'm not into April Fools, it is just NOT what I'm about. I'm not a fool and I don't care if some moron somewhere back in time decided that on April 1 that everyone should act like an idiot Notice the videos, what is the one thing that they have in common... HIGH QUALITY!!! The graphics for my homeworld are gorgeous! Filled with tons of detail because Cyan figured out long ago that they could build an online world that is graphically intense without sacrificing quality. Anywhere else is just kid stuff. Thank Yahvo and the Bahro that I'm an Uruite.
