What would your 5 ideals be?


Recommended Posts

If you were coming up with Radiant ideals for your order, what would they be? Conversely, if you had to pick five (5) ideals that define your life currently, what would they be?

I’ll go first.....

RADIANT ORDER: Grill Tenders

1. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination”

2. Marinade before grilling

3. Sear before lowering heat

4. Let rest before cutting/serving

5. I will stand firm against ketchup 

***Bonus: I will never lick a steak knife!!!

CURRENT IDEALS:

1. Treat others as you want to be treated...unless you are into self harm. 

2. Mind your own business and keep your hands to yourself.

3. There is no ‘my truth’ or ‘your truth’...there is only THE truth.

4. Life sucks sometimes...get a helmet and carry on. 

5. The only failure is quitting...either I will find a way or I will make one 

***Bonus: Don’t take life too seriously...no one’s getting out alive. 
 

edit: Note to self, writing ***Bonus[*][*][*] without the brackets is reported as trying to ‘skirt the rules’. No attempted rule skirting here. Just a few bonus stars. ;)

Hmm, interesting.

Radiant Order- Writers (Yes, so creative of me)

First Ideal- Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.

Second Ideal- I will write, even when I don't want to

Third Ideal- I will put the story before the spectacle. 

Fourth Ideal- I will learn how to separate objectivity and subjectivity 

Fifth Ideal- I am a writer

 

1. Keep an open mind and consider new ideas

2. Be aware of who you are, and accept that

3. Have standards, and hold to them

4. Know what you want, and strive for them

5. I am me

ORDER OF HIGH SCHOOLERS

Life before death etc.

I will realize what is important

I will focus on what is important

I accept that not every important thing can be focused on

I am important

 

ORDER OF MUSICIANS

life before...

I will listen to music

I will learn from the music of others

Sometimes music isn't the answer

I realize music only good based on opinion

life before death is a bit much though...

Ideal 6: If all else fails roll a bunch of dice behind the screen, study them intently, heave a great sigh and declare that tiamat swoops from the sky and attacks.

That is literally a wizards of the coast endorsed strategy. It's on the first page in the DM's handbook.

Ideals of the Order of Stay-at-Home Dads

1. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination
2. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves from junk food and screen time.
3. I will protect even those who want breakfast at 4am.
4. I accept that I can not protect them all the time.
5. I accept that someday they will protect me.

 

I had a hard time with that fifth one since we don't yet know anything except the skybreakers oath. I will become the Dad? It doesn't really work.

Bloodfinder oaths, because I already did this.

Oaths: Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.
I will remember the blood spilt and make it my duty to prevent it from happening again.
I will keep those of evil from spilling that of others, even if it means spilling my own.
I will spill not even the blood of my enemies by preventing death in other ways.
I will become that which repairs, but also that which must kill to prevent disaster.

Schoolteacher oaths

Boredom before life, homework before family, torture before peace.

I won't remember my middle-school years, using that to help guide me

I will break the children, mind and body, so I can get paid.

I accept that there are those that I cannot break

I must become the greatest torture device known to mankind.

 

There are some exceptions to this, but they are few.

Order of Customer Service Workers (I wish I could leave, but it's difficult right now).

1) Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.

2) I will serve the customer and assist them with their purchases and experiences.

3) I will treat customers with respect, even if they are difficult.
