Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you


This is called the Golden Rule. Those who practice the Golden Rule in every part of their life are worth their weight in Gold! They recognize the significance of relationships and the value of personal integrity. Let’s go one step farther; do unto others as you would like others to do unto your mother, daughter, or other loved one. 

When we treat others as we would like to be treated, or the way we would like our loved ones treated, not only do they love it, but there is an inner affirmation that we’ve done the right thing.  Remember this: all of life can be reduced to relationships.  By practicing the Golden Rule you make it clear that you understand the value of each person and that they are as worthy as you are of respect and decency.

We are all created in the image of God, and we are all bound together in intricate dependencies of mutual need. By treating others as you would like to be treated you are reaching the higher levels of personhood.
