'Behave'

‘Behaving well’ is the key to our survival as a ‘specie’. God gave us the privilege and gift of conscious moral existence, and he also gave us the ‘rules’ for its godly enjoyment, sustenance and ‘profitable’ continuity. For us to continue to ‘exist’ we must take to heart, respect and follow these rules; we must ‘learn’ how to ‘behave well’. Or else, we will soon go into ‘extinction’! Why and how? What does it mean to ‘behave well’, and what does it mean to be ‘ill behaved’?
