RULES FOR BEING HUMAN
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answer lies inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
10. You will forget all this.

Number 4 is incorrect. The problem with this notion, which is largely eastern religion oriented, is it presupposes that a lesson is an earth based idea, ie - learn to love another. But love as defined on earth is not love, but an affection attached to earth and earth alone. The word "lesson(s)" should be replaced with "experiences." You are here by choice, not because some principal said "go there and learn to be human, learn how to live with money, learn how to write checks, learn how to obey overlords with grace." Earth is just ONE place out of an infinite number of places. It is not "the" place, or the "first" place, or even an important place, it is simply a place to have an experience under a set of rules and limitations set up by a game keeper.
Final Rule: You are free to leave at any time.
