So what exactly is PLURR? Well, originally it was PLUR, Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. But due to some really stupid people, the extra R was added, for RESPONSIBILITY! As I've grown older, I've realized how important these concepts are. I've also realized that you can't allow your self to be walked all over. So any way, I believe in the concept of PLURR and I try to spread it every where. This is what it means to me:
Peace: Be at peace with yourself, your surroundings, others, everything. Be content with what you have and who you are. This doesn't mean that if someone messes with you that you should turn the other cheek. You do have every right to defend yourself. It simply means that you shouldn't go looking for trouble, starting fights, etc.
Love: Love thy neighbor as thyself. Practice random acts of kindness. Love every one, even those stupid bitches who make your life miserable. I know how hard that is, and how naive that sounds, but it really works out better for you in the end. Trust me, I speak from experience.
Unity: Be a part of something positive. Don't hold grudges, they are unhealthy and cause problems between you and other people. Remember, we are all one race under one sky on one earth.
Respect: Have respect for others as well as your self. Respect property, emotions, opinions, beliefs, space. Basically, don't purposely piss people off. And have enough respect for yourself that you don't do self destructive things.
Responsibility: DON'T DO STUPID THINGS! I know how hard it is, heck, I do stupid stuff all the time. But when you abuse the right to be dumb too much, people will start to dislike you. Besides, the responsible thing really looks good to parents, cops, any one that might get in your face. |
