- suffering is both inevitable and necessary, a catalyst for change that offers wisdom and experience
- reacting proactively to suffering is the best way to survive it
- self-improvement is vital to respect and love, both of self and others
- independence on all fronts is greatly encouraged; strong respect for solitude & self-reliance
- acceptance that the universe is chaotic, unthinking, and unfeeling, nothing happens "for a reason," karma does not exist, and that our reactions to others measure our own strength and wisdom or lack thereof.
- we are all alone in our journeys / the taste bud principle
- "Empathy is a present of poison but poisonous most without presence." (Eighth Statement of Mothist Creed)
