Delphic Maxmis #25: Find Fault in No One

This one is very hard to do, given that we live in a society that we can’t help but to find something wrong with someone. A fault! It could be anything from weight to not doing well in school no matter how hard that person tries. Finding fault is something that we gained over time, something that became part of our society. But deciding not to point out fault, means that you leave yourself unable to be attacked. It also keeps the person from feeling low about themselves.

Delphic Maxims #24: Praise the Good

Praise the good. What does that mean? Well, it means that when someone does good you praise them. You tell them that they’ve done good. When you do that then they are more likely to continue to do good. Not praising them makes them think that what their doing isn’t good enough and that’s never a good thing.

Delphic Maxims #23: Long for Wisdom

I believe that this has a connection with books and knowledge. Long for wisdom means always wanting to know things and longing to know them. To never settle with knowing a bit of wisdom and understanding, but wanting to learn more wisdom and gain a better understanding. I think that’s what missing in our lives, wisdom.

Delphic Maxims #22: Pursue Honor

Honor! This is a concept that most Americans don’t get or understand. Honor is something that’s only found in the military. So this is one that even I’m having a hard time figuring out. I think that it means that you seek honor, pursue it like you would if you were hunting something. I don’t know if I’m write but I think that I can learn given time.

Delphic Maxims #21: Cling to Discipline

So it’s time for another Maxims. This one is Cling to Discipline. Now this is one that can confuse someone that doesn’t understand the concept of discipline. Discipline in ancient times was the most important thing that a man could do. Clinging to it, meant that you didn’t turn your back on the battle and run away. Clinging to discipline also means not giving up when things get hard. Discipline yourself and cling to what you’ve worked hard to do.
