Reflection: These 10 commandments show how to be kind and to take responsibility for the things that you do. Each of these commandments have their own meaning and action that are different from each other. The first commandment says to treat earth and everything on it with respect and i think it means to make sure that everything is clean and the community is safe and the earth is in good shape. The second commandment says to stay close to the Great Spirit and this commandment means to stay close the God that you worship or the religion that you are a part of. The third commandment says to respect your fellow beings meaning that we need to respect one another no matter what. The fourth commandment says to work together for the benefit of all mankind and this commandment means to work together as one to protect ourselves as one instead of going to war with each other and going on your own. We need to be together and work together for the good of mankind and the earth as well. The fifth commandment is probably my favorite that says give assistance and kindness wherever needed which to me means that we need to help each other and be kind to each other whenever and wherever it is needed. For example, if someone on the road is trying to push their car out of the road because it work work you do not just go around them you get off and help them no matter what and whenever you see that. Commandment number six says to do what you know to be right which means to do whatever you know what is right like if you know not drinking and doing drugs is the right thing then you don’t do it because it is the right thing to do. The seventh commandment says to look after the mind and body which means to take care of your mind and your body and to not poison it with different things like drugs and other assortments. Commandment number eight says to dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good which i think means that as we work hard in our lives we need to dedicate yourself to the greater good daily. The ninth commandment says to be truthful and honest at all times which is true because you need to tell the truth no matter what and to be honest no matter what. THe final commandment number ten says to take full responsibility for your actions which is really important because in our lives we all do things both bad and good in our lives and it is the right thing to take full responsibility for your actions both good and bad.
