What I mean by "dog" is to never not show up to plans that were made, never go behind a friends back, never stick up for someone else over them and to never rat them out.

When someone does this it breaks your trust with that person and it's overall rude.

Family is more important than anything else in my life so that's why it's my number one.

Your family are the people that will be there for you and help you the most.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that you should always stick by your family over anyone else because blood is thicker than water.

Never choose a friend over your close family in a disagreement, no matter how much you dislike your brother or sister at the time

The commandment that affects me the most. I believe that you should respect your mother and father more than anyone else. Never harm them in anyway, no matter how much you disagree.
Honour your mother and father like they are the king and queen, or even more. Never disrespect them, never fight with them like you do others and love them unconditionally. No matter what.

# data[].attributes.body
If your friend is in a situation where they can be harmed, help them. If they are having troubles with their family or other friends, help them get through it. Never leave a friend alone if they are in a dark place

No matter who it is, no matter how close you are, always treat your friends like you would treat your brother and sister. If you treat them any other way, you cannot consider them a friend.

Some friends you will never be as close as brother and sister, but a few will after you treat them like one. This does not mean play fight and fight with them all the time. But you need to treat them with the same respect as you do with your siblings.

When you are kind to your piers, you get no drama and they are nice back. This goes for everyone in your life, teachers, family and even strangers.

# data[].attributes.body
If someone is a tad rude to you, be kind back instead of being rude and wrecking your mood. This does not mean if someone's being terrible towards you or bullying you be nice back because I also believe in retaliation to an extent but if someone's in a bad mood and is a bit rude to you be nice back and their mood might change and you both will be happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a strong believer in this because if you are an outright terrible person to someone then something terrible will happen back. If you do a good deed for someone then something good will happen back to you.

I believe that the spirits of your loved ones are always present and watching over you. I feel that if a loved one has passed, that they will be there to guide you and watch over you.

Hope is one of the most important things

If you wish badly on something, it won't go the best. If you have hope in something, it may go better.

When you have hope in something, your mood about it is better, then it has more of a chance in it going better since you believe it will go better.

I believe that you also have spirits within your house. When someone that lives there dies there, they will stay there. I believe that they will be there until the house is brought down.

One of my favourite quotes is "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer to a brother."
Although this doesn't make much sense, especially not being of any faith, once you unpack it, it does.
Some may come to cause havick, but others will stick close like a brother. This affects me because yes, some friends can come and go and there are only a few that stick by you. This relates to my belief in friendship because it says some friends are like your brother, I also believe this. With some friends, you can be as close as brother and sister, but with others, you may not get along as well.

Karma is not a biblical idea. It is not an idea that all Catholic's believe in, yet some may. Several Catholic's and Christians i know do not believe in karma at all, yet people of faith like my mother do. My mum is a very big believer in karma and I have been raised to go with it too.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a saying out of the bible (Galatians 6:7). Although it does not say the word karma, it reps what it means. What goes around comes around is what it means and that is the true meaning of karma. The bible doesn't say this because the eastern religions believe in karma and rebirth and all of that spiritual stuff. Eastern religions also believe that karma means if you do bad stuff, you will be reborn in a bad life. This is not what our religions believe (or what I believe)so they don't use the term 'Karma' they use you reap what you sow

There are so many bible verses and quotes about kindness and compassion in the bible. One that represents many of the beliefs is "The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control" this shows most of the catholic beliefs when talking about this subject. These beliefs are something people of faith and I are strong believers in.

Education is one of the most important things

# data[].attributes.body
In this world, you cant go anywhere in life without an education. It just doesn't happen. If you don't get an education while you can, you wont get a good job, if you don't get a good job you can't provide for your kids. I don't think anyone would want that. Hence why you need to try in school and get a good education. Otherwise you won't have the best life.

I know that just because you don't try in school means you'll do terrible in life, I just believe that you won't do as well as someone who tries and gets into UNI and try's for a good job.

Growing up in a home while struggling with money has taught me how to save from a young age, how to spend my money properly and has given me the motivation to try at school to prepare myself for the life ahead of me.
Growing up like this has given me the belief that if you don't do well in school you won't have the life you dreamed of as a kid and everyone wants to own a mansion and travel the world someday.

I personally am not religious, at all, yet I still believe that prayer can change things. Prayer can give yourself more hope in things that are happening and give you a better mindset.

Prayer can help you in ways that you don't even realize. It gives you more self belief that something can happen or that you can do something. Why I do it is because it helps me calm down about stressful situations. Although this is not what prayer is specifically for, when I pray it gives me more hope in things.

Karma is not a biblical idea. Karma is the core idea of many eastern religions. Karma is the idea that you reap what you sow. Doing good is the cause of good things happening to you, and doing bad is the cause of bad things happening to you. This thought is used in two ways. Originally, it mainly referred to good and bad deeds resulting in a good or bad new reincarnation (next life). Nowadays, especially when western people use the word 'karma', it often refers to good or bad things happening to you in this life because of something you did earlier in your life. Both ways of using the word 'karma' are not biblical.

Karma is not biblical

The thought that actions now will result in being reborn in a good or bad life later on, is not biblical because the Bible teaches we only live once, after which God judges us (Hebrews 9:27). This is the fundamental difference between the Christian faith and eastern religions. In eastern religions everything goes round and round and round. There is no beginning and no end to world history. But Christians profess that God has created the earth and our lives; and that He in the end will create a new earth. In between those two moments, all people live once. They get the opportunity once to get to know God. Everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life on the new earth. This is what gives our lives importance and purpose, which is lacking when you believe in karma.

You reap what you sow

The other use of the word karma, that you reap what you sow in this life, seems to be closer to what the Bible teaches. In Galatians 6:7 we even read 'God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap'. On first sight, that looks like karma. However, there are important differences.

The Bible teaches it is not an impersonal force of cause and effect, but a personal God who rewards and punishes.

The Bible teaches that 'what you sow is what you reap' is not always true in this life. It may only become true at the judgment after death.

Karma is inescapable. But because God is a person, He can forgive. We do not need to carry the consequences of our sins if we trust in Jesus. This in the end is the most important difference. Karma is destiny. But God is gracious to us through Jesus Christ.

Karma tells us: what you have done determines what you will be. God tells us: 'That is true - unless you believe in Jesus. If you believe, what Jesus has done determines what you will be.' We are all facing that choice: do we want karma, or do we want the Gospel?
