Talk:The Seven Strictures/@comment-218.186.15.10-20130816083145/@comment-26859948-20180108110515

Stricture 1 is more along the lines of "don't be tempted, focus more on long-term benefits than short-term pleasure" and Stricture 7 is more like "be sure of your values, don't fall victim to the words of others planting their thoughts inside your head, lest they conflict with yours."
