WIDTH: 416.2pt; PADDING-TOP: 0in" vAlign="top" width="555"> Killing is wrong,

humans or animals. Thus no meat eating, no eggs, no leather goods like sofa,

car seats etc. 2 Sex before marriage is wrong, sex outside marriage is

wrong. Thus no girlfriends/boyfriends. 3 Taking intoxications is wrong,

including drugs, alcohol and other

intoxicants. 4 Gambling is wrong. This means no trips to gambling cities.

Even by living or visiting a gambling city, you are supporting gambling and

thus gambling indirectly. 5 Having disrespect for others is wrong.

Everyone (regardless of religion, color, fat, thin, good looking, ugly looking

etc.) should be greatly respected.

mentality not to socialize with others

Verdana"> 7 Not being compassionate is wrong. Being compassionate is one of

the most important human qualities. It’s animal mentality not to be

compassionate to others. 8 Not being considerate of others is wrong. One

should always be considerate of others at all times. Always consider the

welfare, well-being, and safety of others before yours.

Not being charitable is wrong. One should give a portion of all income in

charity to competent temples and the poor on a regular basis (whenever the

income is received). Giving charity to unworthy people or to in-competent

temples is a waste. Competent temples are those that give

knowledge (preach) on a daily or weekly basis and have qualified Brahmans who

are based on qualifications and not because of birth. The Bhagavad-Gita clearly

states that one can only become a Brahman by qualifications and not by birth.

In-competent temples are those that give no knowledge (no preaching) and have

Brahmans who are based on birth and not qualifications.
