People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool.

Exactly. Its so true.
And thats not sarcasm.
 
This is why a more fluid view of the world is much better than a concrete stubborn view where everyone but you is wrong :p.

That isn't true. People are so stubborn that what they think is right and won't listen to my truth that I just recognize their truth as the other truth

What's your number 2 rule?
The greatest harm can result from the best intentions
Sounds more like a saying than a rule D:
Then try this one...

Rule:Life is the future, not the past

Explanation:
The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices.
