1. Using the word "to" when the word "too" is the correct choice. It's too easy to get wrong.
2. Leaving lights on. I am on the verge of becoming my father.
3. Leaving crackers or other bread products out, cover off, container not closed, etc. Who is it that craves stale Saltines?
4. Thinking that emotions are always reflections of the truth, which then become a projection. "I am angry, therefore, there is something or someone to be angry with." Of course emotions are sometimes accurate reflections, but how do you know the difference?
5. Thinking you know a lot about a subject because you read an article. "That evolution thing is so wrong!" I am particularly disturbed when someone reads something that is not scientific but claims it to be so. Like the Bible.
6. Thinking all online sources are reliable or relevant. "If it's in writing and it's on the web, it must be the truth!" Elvis is not dead.
7. Letting people take advantage of you. "It's my duty to do things for other people." "A good person is someone who helps other people out (all the time at your expense)." Believing this will ensure a particularly miserable life.
8. Thinking you know what comes after death. "I'll be greeted by Jesus at beautiful pearly gates and see all my loved ones." And meet Elvis, who isn't dead yet. Why "pearly?" Wouldn't old wooden ones appeal to more folks and add a little humble character? I know only one thing for certain: my body will be worm food.
9. Believing that humans are somehow fundamentally different from other living things. Nope.
10. Raising your kids without limits or expectations, protecting them from all things difficult, showering them with gifts and praise at every turn, and rewarding them for the slightest effort or accomplishment. All I know is, I don't want to be friends with that kid when he gets older.
