Do Unto Others
by The world would be a much better place if we l treat those aound us as we would have them treat us.
Recently, I was reminded of the Golden Rule, ‘Do unto others what you will have them do unto you’. Just pause for a while and imagine what the world would be like if we all obeyed that rule. I think the world would be a much safer and happier place to be in if we all thought about what the consequences of our actions would be on others before actually carrying them out. Certainly our homes and by default the society would be a much better place, because the home is the bedrock of the society.
Many of the crimes we hear about today will not be there, armed robberies, assasination, emptying of government coffers, rape, internet fraud, murder, you name it. Most of us are busy thinking about how to gratify our immediate and usually selfish desires. But, it ought not to be like that because what goes around, comes around and many of us forget that.
Lets determine today, at least you, reading this post and myself the writer to be careful what we do to others. You may think our effort may not amount to anything but remember that little drops of water make a mighty ocean.

Religions are filled with mysticism,peculiar hatreds,and superstition. It would be better to proceed using objective ethics based on fairness and Justice. Take the Golden rule for example (a quaint expression of cavemans mind). You don’t assume everyone likes to be treated the way you, yourself like to be treated…for things to really work out well, you must learn how the other person wants to be treated (which may be something entirely different than the way you, yourself like to be treated). I.E. a passive person may want to just be left alone and to himself while you think he’d want to be greeted and included because that’s the way YOU like to be treated. Take another of religions quaint little sayings: Judge not least ye be judged; It becomes apparent that you would not even be able to survive if you did not judge people and their actions and motivations every moment…a more objective and ethical saying might be: Judge and judge accurately.
