Project Sinos Part III: The Laws of Sinosity

---

What is, is. What is not, is not. It makes no difference what one believes.

This simply means that the Truth remains constant, regardless of one's belief in it. That which is of the Truth will always be of the Truth, regardless of what anyone believes about it. This is a definition of the Absolute of Truth.

A thing is as it is, and that is all that it is. It is nothing more; it is nothing less.

A thing is that which it is. It may or may not be what it appears to be. It doesn't matter how much a person believes that a given thing is something else, that thing will not change from what it is.

The semblance of a thing does not equate to that thing.

Just because X does not mean Y. Just because a thing seems to be something else does not mean that it is that something else. Just because a person seems to be an idiot does not, in any way, mean that said person is, in fact, an idiot.

If a thing can be defined, then it is real. Just because a thing cannot be defined does not mean that it is not real.

Anything that can be defined is real, whether in and of itself or as a compilation of various other definitions. A cat can be defined and is real. A dragon can be defined, but it alone is not real, but each component of the animal is from something real. Our minds cannot make things up. We are limited to what we have seen (or a combination of things we have seen).

Something that is not real cannot be defined. One can imagine that there are other colors in the world, but he cannot perceive them. Thus, colors beyond the spectrum of the rainbow may or may not exist. Thus, we cannot rule them out, but those things that we can define are real by all means.

Project Sinos Part II: Thoughts About Sinosity

Perception is only truly valid from an outside source.

A cycle will continue until it is broken.

It is the job of every person to guard and to guide those younger than himself. It is also his job to regard and to honor those who are older than himself, and to respectfully correct any wrong that may arise.

Love is a term of perfection, the only form of perfection attainable in a world of imperfection. Love holds no bearings in the mind, but it is a thing of conscience. It is not something that is felt within the body; it is known within the heart. It does not take; it is an entity of purest giving. It does not end, though it can bring sorrow. However, this sorrow is not for the one from who it originates. It is instead a sorrow for another, for the pains they suffer. Love does not ask for recompense, nor does it require a reaction. It is a gift to be spent on others, not a tool to gain treasures.

A thing can only be known by faith. If something is known, then it is faith that guides it. Just because a thing is known does not make it of the Truth. Likewise, a thing can only be proven as an appeal to faith, for proof is only proof should a person desire to believe it.

In all things there are two things: a thing and its inverse.

Be as you are, not as they say. Do as you should, not as you must. Do this, and you shall have peace all the days of your life.

Propriety before necessity. The ends never justify the means.

“The Box” is an undefined concept relative to a given entity. Thinking “inside the box” or “outside the box” can be the same thing. Neither is better than the other so long as propriety is upheld.

A person is always biased toward his own views. Thus it is always necessary that all sides to an argument are properly represented by one who holds those views. If a side is not properly represented, the argument is invalid and the conclusion is falsified.

Project Sinos Part I: The Character of a Sinos

A Sinos must be of noble character. He must be willing to help without reward. If a Sinos is not a servant, then the Sinos has failed in his task.

The priority of a Sinos is to uphold propriety. Sinosity is merely a tool to aid him.

Truth must always be upheld. No Sinos shall ever pass along false information. If he is uncertain of validity, he must not pass it along without proper and prior research.

Sinosity holds that things which harm another will be noticed more than those that aid. This is strictly against propriety, so a Sinos must never seek fame. If a Sinos becomes famous, no rules are being broken unless he has failed to uphold propriety.

A Sinos shall never intentionally harm another person.

If a Sinos is convicted of a crime, but has upheld propriety, he has broken no rules. If a Sinos is convicted of a crime and has failed to uphold propriety, he can no longer be called a Sinos. (Though he should still live as a Sinos, and nothing else should be held against him once his punishment is paid.)

No one is perfect. A Sinos must always be ready and willing to forgive.

A Sinos must be aware that he is not infallible. He must be willing to apologize and to request forgiveness.

A Sinos must never hold a grudge. Grudges are a thing of hate, and hatred is the bane of every Sinos and the ally of every war. No good can come from a grudge.

It is the job of every Sinos to correct any fallacy of which he is aware.

Pride is a precursor to hate, as it focuses on the self. A Sinos is never proud. If a thought is his own, he must never boast about it. He must never take credit for a thought that is not his own.

While pride is against the views of the Sinos, dignity is not. The latter refers to the sense of belonging a person feels for himself. A Sinos must always be aware of and in defense of the dignity of all others.

A Sinos is not a mighty visage. He is a meek and gentle spirit. He does not seek power, only wisdom and understanding. He is not a tyrant; he is a bringer of peace.

A Sinos shall never take anything that is not rightfully his. He may request the return of anything taken from him, but he must never harm another for recompense.

Patience prevents much misperception. A Sinos is always patient.

A Sinos should always be prompt, both as a sign of dependability and as a show of respect. If one is not dependable, how can we trust the validity of his words.

A Sinos must never interrupt another person. He should listen diligently and hold his tongue unless to aid in the understanding of another or of Truth.

When a Sinos speaks, he must speak clearly and intelligibly. If others cannot understand him, of what value are his words?

A Sinos must never speak ill of another. It is the job of every Sinos to uphold all people, even those who slander or bring harm to the Sinos.

A Sinos must never assume to know anything not from HisOwn.

Because all people are equal in value, a Sinos must never show favoritism. He is to uphold all people and should, under no circumstance, belittle another.

A Sinos shall keep his mind pure and unadulterated. Impurity leads to favoritism. Favoritism can be a product of lust; lust is a component of hate. A Sinos must never hate.

Under no circumstance should a Sinos ever view another person as a tool to bring power to himself.

A Sinos shall always be honest, even at the expense of his life. How valid are the words of a dishonest person? His words must always be valid, lest he deceives another through them.

A Sinos need not hide his sorrows. He is not a great image of perfection; he is a humble servant who is still human. However, he must not lay his sorrows on others unless the others request it.
