They say that God created the earth in 6 days. Well, it would only take me 12 days to fix things if I were God.

That's it, just 12 days to make the world a better place.

You Would Learn Self-Love is the Most Important Love

Around the age of 8 years old everyone would be required to learn about self-esteem. They would learn that self-esteem is a realistic respect for or favorable impression of oneself; self-respect.

Self-esteem has been defined as ego. The ego has also been defined as the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physical environment.

Most people think that to love yourself is an act of conceitedness. Conceitedness is having an excessively favorable opinion of one's abilities and/or appearance.

You would be required to learn to love yourself and respect yourself. Most people only eat healthy because they fear illness and/or want to look good. What if you ate healthy because you loved yourself and you did it for you and not out of fear and not out of ego or conceit?

When you learn the value of self-esteem you would also learn to set boundaries. You would not put other people's needed before those of your own. Women especially need to learn this. At an early age we are taught that women are care givers. I think that women are more nurturing than men and this is a good thing. However, more and more men and women are sacrificing their wants, needs and desires for someone else. I am here to tell you.. you aren't going to get points at the Pearly White Gates for playing martyr.

I personally don't know how anyone can love and respect another if they can't love and respect themselves. If you learn how to love and respect yourself you will naturally be able to love and respect another.

So if I were God the commandment would be - Thou Shalt Learn the Value of Self-Esteem.

Doing Something Nice for Someone Else Would be Orgasmic

Every time someone did something nice for someone they would have an orgasmic experience. The experience would occur only when the compliment given, favor done, were truly genuinely felt. If you lied when giving a compliment you would NOT have the orgasmic experience.

Generally people feel good about themselves and the world when they do something nice for someone such as hold a door open. I recently saw a pretty wealthy woman on television being interviewed and she was asked by the BBC if she was a nice person and she said "Yes, I hold the elevator door open for people. People in New York just don't do that. I am elevator friendly." This woman sat up proudly while speaking these words... you could tell she felt good about herself when being elevator friendly.

I know that there would be people running around the planet doing nice things for someone just for the orgasmic experience. That would be like chasing a rainbow. The nice act MUST be a genuine heart felt gesture. No hidden agendas, no score cards... just the plain and simple act of one human being being kind to another.

So if I were God one of the Commandments would be - Thou Shalt Know the Feeling of Doing Something Nice for Another.

The Velveteen Rabbit Would Be Required Reading

The Velveteen Rabbit would be required reading at the age of 8 years old. Which would be followed by an intense study of The Velveteen Principles.

The Velveteen Rabbit is a children's story about a stuffed toy rabbit who learns what it means to be real and the value of friendship, love, acceptance and honesty.

If you aren't being real, you aren't alone. Just look around. The world would not be in the state it is in if people were keeping it real.

Do you know what the word "real" means? It's okay to admit that you think you might know but aren't really sure. You can be "real" and admit that you don't know.

Real means true, genuine, not counterfeit or imitation, authentic and sincere.

Real means to tell the truth.

There is value in being real. There is value in being truthful. There is value to being genuine and sincere.

It's important to be real, truthful, genuine and sincere to everyone you encounter. So it's good to say "don't lie". However, I think it would be extremely difficult for someone to be truthful to people when they aren't even truthful to themselves.

If the first thing you learned as a child was the importance of being honest with yourself then I actually don't think you would have a hard time being honest with other people in the world. In facts, I bet it would come naturally to you.

So if I were God one of the commandments would be - Thou Shalt Know the Value of Being Real

You Would Know There is No Reality - Only Perception

Everyone on the planet would know the difference between fact and opinions. You would know and not have to be told. You would understand when someone explains a place, person or event that this is merely a perception that another individual is expressing. This is how the person who is communicating sees the events of the world through their eyes.

Facts and opinions would be clearly identified. If I walked into a room with 2 loafs of bread. The only fact is that I have walked into the room with 2 loafs of bread. Anything else that is conveyed about the situation is a perceived perception.

Everyone would learn John Godfrey Saxe's (1816 - 1887) story 5 BLINDMEN AND THE ELEPHANT at the age of 10 years old.

It was six men of Hindustan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind)
That each by observation
Might satisfy the mind.

The first approached the Elephant
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side
At once began to bawl:
"Bless me, it seems the Elephant
Is very like a wall".

The second, feeling of his tusk,
Cried, "Ho! What have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear".

The third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Then boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake."

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he;
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Hindustan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right
And all were in the wrong.

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

So if I were God the commandment would be - Thou Shalt Know Reality is Perception

You Wouldn't be Able to Talk About Stuff Unless You Had an Experience

Stuff means.. people, places, events and how something should be done.

You would not be able to verbally place an opinion about a place you have never been to, a person you have never met, an event that you have never attended or how something should be done that you haven't actually done.

You can say that you want to go somewhere, meet someone or do something. But you would not be allowed to express an opinion that is based on information you have gathered (read, saw on television or heard). You can only share information that is experience based.

Remember I would not want to control your thoughts so you can think whatever you choose, however, when you open your mouth, if it is not a personal experience you are going to share, nothing will come out.

If you ate at a restaurant and didn't like it you get to say so and you will be heard. If you heard a restaurant was bad, but have not eaten there, you won't be heard.

Remember the world and everything in it is based on perception. It is okay to share your perception of the restaurant and it will be heard.

Can you imagine there would be a lot less talking and more time to listen for the birds.

So if I were God the commandment would be - Thou Shalt Only Speak about Experiences.

You Must Travel to Another Country

You would be required at the age of 10 years old to visit another country for at least 5 days. This would be required every 5 years, from the age of 10 years old to the day you die.

You get to pick where you want to go and how long you want to stay there. You must stay a minimum of 5 days. You would not be required to learn another language, however, it might make your trip better. Personally, I am a fan of learning languages when visiting counties.

Can you imagine, everyone would get to experience the world! How cool would that be?!?!?!?

So if I were God the commandment would be - Thou Shalt Travel to Other Countries
