I have long been a proponent of the golden rule. I think it can pretty much all be boiled down to treating others like we want to be treated -- how much better would the world be if we all practiced this?
I don't know why or how, but I just saw the golden rule on another website and read it as "treat yourself like you treat others." I know that I am kinder, more compassionate, more encouraging, and quicker to cut others slack than I do for myself. Perhaps if I can try to remember to treat myself the way I treat others -- hell, the way others DO treat me -- I'll make even more progress.
That is an interesting spin on an old proverb. Thought-provoking.
