To me, the 10 Indian Commandments is a list of things that people can use as guidance. It can be guidance towards a good character, or guidance towards making a difficult decision. This list gives you a better understanding of how to approach a situation, and helps with maintaining and strengthening your morality. Knowing these will help you make change occur more often(change for the better). These provide us with the knowledge needed in order to make the world and its people a bit better than how it currently is. We learn how to be truthful at all times, and to admit when we have committed some bad actions. When we have identified our wrong doings, these commandments tell us that we are responsible, and that it’s our job to fix it. The commandments also try to promote equity amongst the people, which helps out the people that don’t have enough guidance or assistance. We are shown how and why we need to sacrifice certain things. It tells us to do that for the sake of kindness, guidance, and for the greater good.
