I strive to live my values.
TEN COMMITMENTS OF LIVING HUMANIST VALUES FOR CHILDREN

Each one of us is responsible for the collective welfare of humanity, other beings, and the resources of our shared planet. We value freedom, reason, and tolerance, and it is our responsibility to develop this heritage for ensuing generations.
