English term or phrase: thou shalt nots
A life of happiness is not based upon ”thou shalt nots”. Jesus Christ did not die on a cross in order to give us more rules to follow. He died in order to save us and obtain for us the graces necessary to love as we were created to love. Instead of thinking of God as a law-giver who sits aloof upon a throne waiting to judge you, let go of these ideas for a moment. Indeed, God has given us laws. He will be our judge. But in the end we will be judged by a God who is love on our willingness to reflect His love.

"să nu (faci)"/interdicții


Explanation:
În funcție de cum vrei să redai originalul:
1. "O viață fericită nu se întemeiază pe interdicții." - care e foarte clară, dar pierde referința la formula biblică.

2. "O viață fericită nu se întemeiază pe o colecție de <să nu (faci)>." - care e chestie de gustul cititorului vizat. Între "să nu" și "să nu faci" e de ales.

neutral  Florin Ular: Referitor la „colecție”: COLÉCȚIE, colecții, s. f: Serie de obiecte de același fel sau de aceeași categorie, care, adunate și dispuse sistematic, reprezintă o valoare artistică, stiințifică, documentară etc. (DEX) - colecție de monede vechi, de tablouri

  -> tocmai! "colecție" mi se pare că sugerează pedanteria inerentă unei vieți orientate strict de interdicții.

Cele 10 porunci


Explanation:
Consider ca exista o legatura stransa intre ¨thou shalt nots¨si ¨Cele 10 porunci¨ in acest context dat fiind faptul ca cele 10 porunci includ frecvent expresia ¨Sa nu...¨. Se face referire in text la ¨laws¨ care trimit de asemenea catre cele 10 porunci sau legi.
