Golden Rule

Treat others like you want to be treated.

This simple statement wraps up the entirety of human philosophy.

We all know this statement by heart, but do we live it out? What would the world look like if we followed this piece of advice?

We tend to treat people nice when they have been nice to us, but not when they are mean. That evokes anger, not forgiveness.

It is a given that we want others to be nice to us. Since that is what we want, why do we not act that way?

Treat others like you want to be treated.

If we want peace, yet sow seeds of anger, bitterness, or rage, we can expect to receive those in return.

If we internalized this phrase, rather than giving it lip service only, what would our days look like?

Let's make that a reality.
