**MEMENTO VIVERE!** Advice, total nonsense or something between:

- **Stand out!** Otherwise there is no diversity, no comfort zone, just nazis
  as not standing out means obeying in advance. _Act Like You Belong and
  Belong You Shall._
- **Know fear. Face fear. Break the Spiral of Silence.** _"Fear is the tool of
  tyrants"_
  - Be their fears. _Queer propawganda_ to remind them we are people.
    _Naturist_ to remind they are the same as us under their covers.
- Leave the world a better place than you found it. Remember **EMPATHY**,
  **SYMPATHY** and **COMPASSION!** Let them lead you to **KINDNESS!**
  - Remember them towards everyone. _Everyone includes you._ Respect your
    boundaries as well, you can say "no" and continue your path without
    explanations.
