What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?

Ask the Sea what mantra It lives by?

We get this answer, the blueprint, in how a person affects us over time or by comparing patterns of who and what they become and what happens around them, and what around them becomes- clearly we don’t have AIs ability to track most of these causes and the ripples of their effects but saying such a thing for myself?

As if there’s just one?

I live by the mantra of calm…

No I don’t! Does the Sea?

It’s unfathomable. It’s like describing Life/God to even imagine summoning up even the most simple human- that’s an oxymoron- Simple? Even the most clear or single minded human can’t be reduced into living by one thing.

Not even a two-dimensional character modeled after the complex of complexity human being could be submitted to this query with any degree of rationality. We all run on multiple pre-installed, life, family, culture, friend, work, chosen and unchosen, imagined, unimagined, mantras-plus all the stuff we do while trying not to, could hold the sea in their mouth like this requires- though we are both the drop of sea water and the sea somehow.
