Gary, those are nice words, but I think you'ld have to be a Monk to live up to the 5 rules.
1-I hate(people) every day. I see low lifes and those that take advantage of the weak, going thru life as if they are owed something and feel nothing but dislike for these people and truly wish them the worst.
2-No worries?-down over 200k in the market-easy for the writer of this whimsy to say-no blame to anyone but me for this.
3-Guess I've gotta sell my Cat and get a horse-No Way!!-although I dont over extend too much.
4-This I do. I give of myself personally and monetarily as often as I can.
5-I expect nothing, but do get PO'd when those that take advantage of rule 4 do not recipricate.

Just thought I'd vent here!!Must have been something I drank!
