Reflection:
I notice that several of these commandments aspire after wellness, being a good citizen, and respecting your environment. I think that this is a set of commandments that should apply to everyone, as opposed to being labeled "Indian Commandments" these should be "Universal Commandments" because regardless of what culture you are part of, following these guidelines is essential to living a happy life.
