The Teachings of the Katipunan-(the Kartilla of the Katipunan)

I.A life not devoted to a worthy cause is like a tree without its leaves .
-we have our different purposes in life ,others are difficult others are simply easy . But the important thing is that we should do them no matter what the reason is . Because if we don't , our life could be put to nonsense .

II.A good deed that was not done sincerely is not considered a virtue
-It doesn't matter how many times you help others ,because if you did with an insincere heart it can't be called a virtue.

III.Real virtue lies not only in Charity and love of neighbor,but also in the purity of one's thoughts,words and actions.
-charity is what we do to help others,but if you do it for your own purpose , then it can't be called virtue regardless of what you give to others.

IV.All men are equal,regardless of race,color,and culture.
-don't judge the book by it's cover ,not everything we're seeing is real .We are all equally disregarding our physical capabilities .

V.A wise men values abstinence over indulgence
-only the truth will set you free
VI.A person with delicadeza knows how to keep his words
-delicadeza is a spanish trait that we inherited.It was a trait that has the definition of shame .So the point of this teaching is that if you have shame,keep your promises because if you won't keep them,you're shameless.
VII.Never waste time;opportunities that passed by may come again,but time wasted can never be brought back.
-time is gold ,others says which is true.But I don't really believe that opportunities that passed by may come again.Things may happen once like time so we should value every second that we spend our lives.
VIII.Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor
-it was like defend your country and fight its conqueror
IX.An intelligent person exercises prudence in his words but when to keep a secret
-an intelligent person speaks diligently but he also knows when to keep his mouth shut.This means that even a person who's so intelligent ,is honest
X.A man serves as a model to his wife and children;thus, the leader who is headed in the wrong direction also leads his followers astray.
-this was like a bottle with a little water inside ,it follows where the gravity pulls the water , anywhere as long as their leader is concerned.

XI.Don't look down on a woman as a source of pleasure but as a partner in one's joys and sorrows;remember your mother who brought you up since you were a baby .
-women are meant to be loved not for pleasure .If you can't value one,then you don't deserve to love.Value other women as you value your mom.
XII.What you do not want done unto your own wife,daughter and sister,do not do unto others wife,daughter,and sister of others
-Don't do to others what you don't want to be done unto you.It's like a mirror,what you do to yourself while looking in the mirror will reflect and will be shown in the mirror too.
XIII.A person's worth does not depend on being a king priest or having a high position in society,nor in the shape of one's nose or color of one's skin.It is found in his goodness,honor,and pure intentions;in those who do not abuse nor allow themselves to be abused;and in those who know concern and love for one's country.
-Everyone was made by God equally ,so no matter what your position is,your personality is the only thing that is highly appreciated by others especially by God.You can earn money but you can't pay God to let you enter heaven,but your virtue and pure intentions will do more that it has bonus of taking you to heaven if already also accepted Jesus.
