Y ou, of course, wish to help your contacts and friends.

Choose someone whose actions, however remotely, may influence your own survival.

Write the persons name on the top line of the front cover.

Write or stamp your own name, as an individual, on the second line of the cover.

Present the person with the book.

Ask the person to read it. You will find that he or she also is threatened with the possible misconduct of others.

Give the person several additional copies of this book but do not write your name on them: let the other person write his or hers. Have the person present these copies to others that are involved in his or her life.

By continuing to do this you will greatly enhance your own survival potential and theirs.

This is a way toward a much safer and happier life for you and others.

Words sometimes have several different meanings. The footnote definitions given in this book only give the meaning that the word has as it is used in the text. If you find any words in this book you do not know, look them up in a good dictionary. If you do not, then misunderstandings and possible arguments can arise.

Your survival is important to me.

survival: the act of remaining alive, of continuing to exist, of being alive.

T rue joy and happiness are valuable.

If one does not survive, no joy and no happiness are obtainable.

Trying to survive in a chaotic, society is difficult.

Any individual or group seeks to obtain from life what pleasure and freedom from pain that he or they can.

Your own survival can be threatened by the bad actions of others around you.

Your own happiness can be turned to tragedy and sorrow by the dishonesty and misconduct of others.

I am sure you can think of instances of this actually happening. Such wrongs reduce ones survival and impair ones happiness.

You are important to other people. You are listened to. You can influence others.

The happiness or unhappiness of others you could name is important to you.

Without too much trouble, using this book, you can help them survive and lead happier lives.

While no one can guarantee that anyone else can be happy, their chances of survival and happiness can be improved. And with theirs, yours will be.

It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.

happiness: a condition or state of well-being, contentment, pleasure; joyful, cheerful, untroubled existence; the reaction to having nice things happen to one.

chaotic: having the character or nature of total disorder or confusion.

immoral: not moral; not following good practices of behavior; not doing right; lacking anyidea of proper conduct.

1-1. Get Care When You Are Ill.

When they are ill, even with communicable diseases, people often do not isolate themselves or seek proper treatment. This, as you can easily see, tends to put you at risk. Insist that when someone is ill that he or she takes the proper precautions and gets proper care.

1-2. Keep Your Body Clean

People who do not bathe or wash their hands regularly can carry germs. They put you at risk. You are well within your rights to insist that people bathe regularly and wash their hands. It is inevitable that one gets dirty working or exercising. Get them to clean up afterwards.

1-3. Preserve Your Teeth.

If one brushed ones teeth after every meal, it has been said that one would not suffer tooth decay. This, or chewing gum after each meal, goes far toward defending others from oral diseases and bad breath. Suggest to others that they preserve their teeth.

1-4. Eat Properly.

People who do not eat properly are not of much help to you or themselves. They tend to have a low energy level. They are sometimes ill-tempered. They become ill more easily. It doesnt require strange diets to eat properly but it does require that one eats nourishing food regularly.

1-5. Get Rest.

Although many times in life one has to work beyond normal sleep periods, a persons general failure to get proper rest can make him or her a burden to others. Tired people are not alert. They can make mistakes. They have accidents. Just when you need them they can dump the whole workload on one. They put others at risk. Insist that people who do not get proper rest do so.
