Living by this motto

I know that we all try to treat others as we wish to be treated. It is what is called the Golden Rule here in schools in the USA. I remember when I was in school it was a rule we were taught at a young age. There are times when we feel as if not being fair or treating others as we wish to be treated. However, I know for myself that if one keps a positive outlook, is nice no matter what, attitudes change and the day gets better. I am looking at this in the point of view of a cashier, haha, so yeah.

One also has to be aware to the other's intention : For example , I asked someone about something that she did , she told me that it was none of my bussiness , she was not aware I just wanted to talk and be friendly. She may think I want to push my nose to things that are none of my bussiness. In this example , I wanted to be friendly and I got a bad respond for this. If the porson I was aware of my good intentions , he could tell me that it was a private thing but he would like to talk about something else maybe... So , the other side has to be open for people with good intentions , some times good people can be understood wrong. I learn a diploma course about SQA , and I help students in my class to understand the material. I don't even wait for them to ask for it , I ask them how it goes and give them tips. Show them how to do what the teacher teaches... I guess not everyone likes what I like and some can interpret good behavior as something wierd so , one has to be ready for it , to not be accepted and apreciated all the time. I always let good people like you (the one who started the discussion) to do me good things , I know it makes them happy and me happy too.

People think it will not catch up with them, especially if they have the armor of wealth. But it does. Here in the States the old folks say "what goes around, comes around" which was said long before the nation learned the word "karma". It's true, what you sow you shall reap. Maybe not immediately and probably not by the person you wronged but you will be repaid in kind. The strange thing is that the good things you do come back two or three fold while the bad things you've done bite you ten times harder than your offense.

This is my goldenrule also. I state this many times on mylot as a response to many relationship discussions. It's not that I never get upset with others, it's just that as soon as I do my next thought is what is wrong here, why is that person acting that way, then how can I help. Blessings

Like you, i always try to treat others the way i want to be treated and can't understand how cruel and inconsiderate some people can be. I have a very big heart and sometimes being this way,causes me a lot of anguish since the cruelty of others,is something i just can't tolerate and actually makes me way too sad.it just doesn't take much effort to do for others no matter how small or insignificant the thing is, but for some it seems selfishness and unkindness is the way to go.

i live by this motto..... NO ID NO ENTRY

Hi lelin, I agree with you, it's the only way to go. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this and seem to think only of themselves. I always try to treat others the way that I want to be treated, yet none of us are perfect so I can't say that I do it all the time. The point is I'm trying and getting better at it. No one who understands wants bad karma. Blessings.

This is something that I've always done in my life. I think that is one of the reasons that people like to be around me so much. I will offer a roof to friends that that don't have a place to stay and I will offer clothes to someone that is cold. I will even give my change to someone that is asking for change. My thinking is that one day I might be down and out in my luck and I would certainly hope that there would be someone that would be willing to help out my family and myself.

I think that is the way that everyone should live their lives daily. It is a good feeling when we help each other. And not many people out there know that by letting someone go in front of you when they only have a few things how good that makes people feel. I have had this happen to me many many times. Last week I felt like dog poo because of being really sick, and this guy had a lot of stuff I had one or two things and really was in a hurry didn't want to spread my germs, he looked at me and must have known how bad I felt he let me go ahead of him. It is a good moto to do unto others as you would have done unto yourself. Thanks for sharing my friend.

I'm a selfish money hungry business tycoon. I don't take pride in it, but I need to do it.
