I also think such things are overstated and easily argued against. Trying to live according to such golden rules leads to tying yourself into a knot and an unworkable position. Ok, it's a nice thought and you might take it as a rule of thumb, but you are kidding yourself if you actually think you live by it. You might think that if you see things as isolated events, but to me everything is linked together in such a complex way that it makes all this stuff garbage. There are so many instances where it impossible to apply it universally or it just makes sense not to use it, that it makes it is hard to pay too much attention to it. There are so many things that cannot be made good for all.

Having said that, it is seductive, desirable and necessary to oversimplify much of life and the world. The alternative is to live in a state of endless uncertainty. The price is to live with the pains of contradictions.
