                    The six pillars of character are the perfect way for someone to live a happy and well life. In my opinion everyone should remember these six pillars and live by them. The six pillars are meant to bring people together whenever the chance is giving. Not only when people need the help but whenever it might just come to mind. It can be as simple as giving a flower to your mother or an old lady in the street to brighten up their day. We want a better world for ourselves and other to live in so why not start. People with god character are what make the world a better place. 

                The 10 Indian Commandments 


1. Treat the Earth and all the dwells therein with respect.

2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
6. Do what you know to be right.
7. Look after the well-being of mind and body.
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibility for your actions.


                  The 10 Indian Commandments seem like very simple and easy things to do. Most people might think that rules are set up to control people but the commandments that the Indians have only show a symbol of respect and honesty. These kind of commandments are the ones that the world should also take in consideration of doing. All the commandments are basically asking you for a few things; keep the earth clean and don't harm it, respect everyone including yourself, and be honest about things. If people were to take the time to really analyses what the commandments are saying people will see the big picture that not only should the Indians do it but also everyone else.
