-Idealist, because cynicism leads to self-destruction. Besides, you can't possibly live and grow with cynicism. You've got to believe in something else the world becomes pointless.
-Both "might makes right" and "right makes might" are true, unlike the general assumption that both are opposites. Might makes right because... no one takes anyone seriously in a field if he has no skills and/or natural predisposition. Yet there have been so much examples of history being utterly changed by someone who believed what he did was right. For good and evil.
-You should help and support to the ones you respect and love. The rest of humanity... you can healthily not care about them.
-Conflict is indeed the great mover of history, ideas and stuff. It is by conflict that someone grows, so promote it even if it pains you or other people. Just make sure not to take it too far, or promote senseless conflict.
-Equality is bullshit unless you are talking about legislation. People are not equal, there will always be leaders and followers, such is the way of society on this planet, both in humans and other social animals. Unless you are talking of equality under the law, which is a generally good and worthy concept.
-The world is neither a field or roses, nor a horrible place. It is neither inherently cruel or kind. Your perception shapes it, but that's only your perception. Happiness and sadness are things that happens. Don't judge the world by your recent happenings, because it's far larger than the width of your experiences.
-The highest, most worthy quality is freedom. Freedom is choosing your very own limits and living by them, while being able to change. Therefore, this implies the following...
-If you feel bound or limited by something, then fight against it ! To not fight against it is weakness.
-The greatest thing given to us is our brains so we should think before acting 99% of the time. Intelligence is one of the most important qualities in a human being. You should think before acting and keep your emotions in control. Unless it is limiting you, like said previously.
-There is no inherent meaning to life, but that's why you should choose one meaning by yourself.
-There is no superior, inherent moral truth. Choose your very own. Of course, if you choose "there is no moral truth", you sacrifice your humanity.
-The end justifies the means ONLY as long as the means do NOT corrupt/undermine the end. Yeah, i'm a big fan of old Niccolo.
-You should strive to be liked but it if cannot be done/is not practical, then be feared. Or be both, which is even wiser. More Machiavelli.
-Few things can be seen as inherently wrong or right. Most entities in this world are morally neutral. There are inherently evil acts (like rape and genocide and generally acting on hatred) but most things should be seen as tools to advance your goals, not in terms of good and evil.
