This I believe in the Golden Rule

I believe we should always treat others as we want to be treated. If we don’t follow through with the Golden Rule bad things will happen it’s a fact. If we go bomb another country they are bound and determined to bomb us. If we treat that country with compassion and care they will treat us with compassion and care.

We live our lives being selfish always looking out for our best interest, in the end though are we really looking out for our best interest? This comes from the statement, I will rub your back if you rub mine. Sometimes and most of the time, we will have to rub the backs of those we despise of first. Gratification doesn’t come through money or things, it come through the ones that care when we need it most. Through the years I have put this statement to the test, and 9 out of 10 times it works. For example the other day my wife and I were having a hard time, we were arguing and getting into small fights. When she left for school I cleaned the whole house and cooked a batch of cookies. When she returned home she couldn’t stop thanking me and we didn’t have one argument for the whole next week, all because of one little gesture of kindness.

If we all just lived by the Golden Rule do onto others as we want done onto ourselves, this world would be a much more peaceful place. Though we still might have a few bad eggs we just have to kill them off with kindness. They may be stubborn and very rude but if you just go out of your way to treat them with compassion sooner or later they will brake and return the favor. This Golden Rule does have a downside, the fact that we are selfish human beings and such a hard time putting the ones we despise of the ones we hate first. We can give them money we can give them things but a little of our time is all they need.

So I encourage you to do onto others as you want done onto ourselves and you view the results if it doesn’t work right away don’t give up because sooner or later it will. The Golden rule knows no boundaries of race, religion, or sex it only knows an act of kindness can go a long way. It is with this Golden rule that we can spread peace throughout this world one person at a time.
