How to Behave

If you want to behave properly without getting in trouble you need some simple requirements: Knowledge of Good and Evil, Self-Control,
And the rare ability known to many, but given to few called common sense.
The most important one used here is Knowledge of Good and Evil. When used with self-control you can be a sweet little angel or a nasty little devil (Speaking figuratively). Even better then knowledge of good and evil is the knowledge of listening to your conscience. This basically means doing good.
So using those three factors lets move on.

Let’s start with a real life situation okay? Say your little brother just went into your room without telling you and not only messed it up, but also destroyed your favorite (insert item here). What would you do?
A) Break into his room while he’s at daycare and wreck his room then lie about it.
B) Break into his room and then tell your mom you did it because he did it to you.
C) Blame your sister and pick a fight with her.
D) Yell at him until he cries like the little baby he is.
E) Nothing
F) Warn him not to do it again then go back to life as usual.
Okay as usual everyone answered E or F huh? Moms probably watching too.
If you did then what would you do if he did it again? All too often we’re matched with problems like this. Even if we answer E or F we often end up doing something like A, B, C, or D.
