Okay, before you all think I've gone off the deep end and am proposing we adhere to a religion called "Indyism," hear me out. We don't really know if Indy is "religious" or not, but I'm sure he has a "code" or "creed" that he lives by, consisting of different rules and codes of conduct. For example, we know he's a good man, a caring man and a "rescueing" type of man. And he never fights dirty. We also know he's somewhat of a rogue, a cad. But we all know he has great redeeming qualities. From what you've read, seen and know about Indy, what "codes of conduct" does he live by? I think if we can put together some kind of "Indy Creed," we'd have some good rules to live by and kinda be able to emulate him, if in some small ways. For example, I'm pretty damn sure he lives by the Boy Scout saying, "be prepared." Heck, he's prepared even when he's um, not prepared. Here's the beginnings of a list of the "Indiana Jones Creed." Or Should it be "Everything I've Learned About Life, I've Learned From Indiana Jones?":
1. Be prepared
2. Rescue those who need rescuing.
3. Know how to show a lady a good time (Okay, that's for the guys)
4. Face your fears.
5. Wear something that makes you feel lucky.
6. Have a good woman by your side.
7. Do your research.
Etc, etc. So go ahead, add to this list. Start with the obvious stuff that all good heroes do. Maybe you even have some good quotes that Indy said himself that reflect what he believes or what he lives by. They may be in the Indy movies or YIJC or in the Indy comics/novels. This may take a little research on your parts. So be a good little archeologist and DIG. When we're all finished here, maybe, just maybe, we'll have some good things to live by...courtesy of Dr. Jones.
