“35) Give no second chances to anyone who shows disrespect“

This is one of the worst rules I have ever read. Taken literally it can squander a life otherwise well lived.



Yeah, might as well make the rule "35) Be inflexible and cruel when it suits you."


I like that phrasing of it more. Someone following it will live pretty effectively.


I could relate to it only for one reason:

I was treated disrespectfully at a restaurant recently.

I do not plan on returning there ever.


Do you behave in same vein at your work, with your parents, spouse, children, friends etc?

This bit me.

I work for a disrespectful person.

It is awful.
