Im very critical of judeo-christian\ABRAHAMIC religion-faith\TEACHINGS. Alot of NEGATIVE RULES. SHALT NOTS ! Where POSITIVE SUGGESTIONS? Thou SHALTS?

The focus is sumarized most completely and definitely by 10 Do NOTS. Such a perspective concentrates on NEGATIVE(S) very strongly.
Rather than clearly defining what one SHOULD DO. Stories are provided to depict how one individuals example might be emulated. . . Yet morality is stressed with only figurative and open-to-interpretation examples (stories) PROVIDED of a mythical being having HAD acted prior to being killed for it. All of which has been TRANSLATED many many times.

Therefore telling ppl what NOT TO DO leads to resentment and inspires people to act with only the actions they should not do on their mind\as illustration with only the examples of how NOT TO ACT as instruction. The focus is on what NOT to do; such that it inspires VIOLENCE\RESENTMENT\JEALOUSY, and SIN.

Conclusion the 10 commands TO NOT needs to be amended\followed up by some number of recommendations of what TO DO.
The 10 i rather you didnts only inspires those negative behaviors to be commited. Thou shalt not KILL has only inspires murder\violence\war (DEATH)
thou shalt NOT STEAL only inspires (THEFT), thou shalt NOT COVET only inspires (ENVY\ADULTRY).
Where are the pillars of how TO BEHAVE successfully?
Buddhism suggests the 8 fold path of what TO DO in Pursuing ENLIGHTENMENT my attempt offers the 3 tenets appropriate words (MESSAGE) appropriate thought(s)\intention(s) (ATTITUDE) appropriate action(s) (DEEDS).
The oldest on record, Zoroastrian offers good THOUGHTS good WORDS good DEEDS.
Where is the Abrahamic traditions recommendation of what TO DO toward SUCCESS?
I see alot of what should NOT be done and resultant behavior that emulates those negatives by Doing (NEGATIVE ACTION), by screaming (NEGATIVE WORDS) and by projection of wanting more (NEGATITIVE DEEDS) Therefore the followers of Judaism Islam and Christianity (followers of ABRAHAM) would BENEFIT from clearly declared THOU SHALTS.
What SHOULD we war ravaged humans BE DOING?

Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and share what thou hast with those who have not.

Thou shalt respect thine children and thine parents.

Thou shalt honor the Earth and her children, and keep her forests sacred.

Thou shalt educate thyself and thine children.

Thou shalt make things better for the next generation.

@LordShadowfire are those listed in the text? Those are great suggestions. Thanks! But they do not seem to get much airtime.

@jehova I just came up with those. I just came up with better commandments than Christians observe in the bible.
