There it is. The Golden Rule - also know as the ethic of reciprocity. We've all heard it over and over in our lives. It's a timeless example of how to treat others.
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." -- Matthew 7:12
Why is that so simple, yet not easy to do?
As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term "Golden Rule", or "Golden law", as it was called from the 1670s.[1][6] As a concept of "the ethic of reciprocity," it has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard way that different cultures use to resolve conflicts.[1][5]
When one statement, or one rule of thought transcends through different cultures and religions, it always stands out to me. We all don't agree on everything, but I think you'll find it hard to find many people who don't think that treating others the way you would like to be treated is a good rule of thumb to live by.
As Bob Goff says in "Love Does"....: Love God. Love People. Do Stuff.
"..because love is never stationary. In the end, love doesn't just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it. Simply put: Love Does." - B. Goff
