A few Niwa's Rules...

1. A promise is almost a law - What this is basically saying is that if you say your going to do it, it is going to be done, one way or another. We enjoy this rule because, first off, it makes it so people aren't disappointed, second, it is important to keep to your word, if you don't then people get lazy and that is what we try to avoid every day.



2. Be kind to Mother Nature- People in Niwa are all about staying in touch with nature, if you do any harm to this great planet you do not belong here. This is one of our most harshly punished rule.



3. Never take more than you need- To keep our society clean and nice, it is a horrible waste to have waste. A common home motto is, you can always take more. If need be, go ahead and take more, but please don't take so much that you cant handle it. This apply's to many things, food, work, and materials.



4. Learn or teach something everyday- People in Niwa are busy people, and we like being busy. We also enjoy new experiences, and the passage of knowledge and stories. Also this rule makes people interact more and that is wonderful!



5. Keep your honor- You should never do something truly foolish. People shouldn't put others down either or themselves.



6. Do not take an other's property without permission- That property must mean something to that person, without working for it, or getting permission, it is forbidden to take an others hard work.


7. Every question deserves and answer- In Niwa we believe knowledge is power. Questions and encouraged and answers should be thought out. You do not want to be the one who spread the false knowledge.


8. Never defile your body- As is your possessions, your body was hard work. Defiling your body would counter your honor. You as well count as a work of nature so be kind to yourself and others.
   
   
9. Never punish more than necessary- Just because a wrong was done, do not counter it with another wrong. Justice must be served, but not served violently. Pity must have balance with revenge. Here in Niwa that is expected.
   
10. Always be open to new ideas and people- We are all different and that is a good thing. Never put someone down just because they are different. If everybody was the same, there would be no need for a utopia, because the world would be one. So keep the idea of Niwa in your heart and love all that deserves it.
