Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated

Treat others the way you want to be treated is not only a common quote or the “golden rule”, but a major part of our lives. This relates to every relationship including your family, friends, strangers and enemies. I have come to find out how important this is in everyday situations. Most often we don’t realize how we come off to others; we may think that our actions aren’t being felt by others. We are all emotional human beings - we deserve for our feelings to be taken into consideration and to be respected. We all need to understand what effect our actions have on the lives of others. We need to be able to imagine ourselves in the other person's place on the receiving end of the action. Treating people morally should come from the inside, you shouldn’t do it because it looks good or you’re trying to make an impression. Think about it, would you want someone to act like your friend because you know a specific person or have a common tie, but deep inside they rather not have your friendship? Take this time and think about how you treat the people surrounded by you most often- you family and friends. Are you sure that you’re absolutely OK with the actions you perform, with the conversations you have? Are you unknowingly offensive or disrespectful with the things or say or do? Would you mind being treated in those ways? Would you not feel hurt or rejected by those actions? If you find that these questions have sparked some thoughts about your actions, then perhaps you need to reestablish yourself with the golden rule
