The Golden Rule is, more or less, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" or treat people the way you want to be treated. But doesn't this explain WHY the world is the way it is?
A while back I was reading 'Random Acts of Revolution' by Daisy Luther at www.theorganicprepper.ca . I emailed her my random act, which took place the weekend before I read the article. To sum up, my email was about how I hugged some random person because they were sad. I didn't leave a comment because the comment section devolved into typical internet nonsense. The seed was planted though and the question remains, how do we make the world better?
Here is my answer:
Treat people better than they treat you.
Great way to tweak the rule to make it even more meaningful.
ReplyDeleteI could add, along those same lines, "Treat people better than they deserve."
