Description I don't support to treat people the way I am being treated.
I support to treat people the way I want to be treated if I were in the same situation.

Meaning: with respect!


What about you?


Treat others only as you consent to being treated in the same situation.
The Golden Rule



I was surprised to find out no-one made a stamp about the Golden Rule, a very common but underrated philosophical rule known by many, but alas practiced by far less people than it should.

I was very sad to discover that many of my devwatchers have been discriminated at least once in their life. (You could check my poll for many examples and personal stories.) No-one should be treated differently just for what they are.



After all: it doesn't matter what culture you come from. It doesn't matter what your beliefs are, whether you believe in God, Allah, Buddha or yourself for that matter. Who cares if you are thin or overweighted; if your skin colour is different than mine; if you're male, female, small, tall, beautiful, imperfect, wear glasses, silly shoes; listen to whatever kind of music you like to listen to; your whole being.


In the end, I will love and treat you for who you are.

All I'm asking you is to treat me and anyone else with respect too.



(I would make a great hippie, I know. Who cares if I was a hippie anyway that's the whole point, people!)


Other stamp I've made:



PS!!!

There have been a few discussions about what this rule means when talking about masochists (explanation can be found here ) for instance. Well... I guess that means there should be a few exceptions about this rule. The most important thing is to treat people with respect, and don't offend or hurt them in any way possible.

I am aware it's impossible to make this rule work for everyone, but that doesn't mean we couldn't try to make this world a better place.

Treat others how you want to be treated... Assuming they are exactly the same as you are. Should not be applied otherwise.

Oh c'mon nobody threw a masochist analogy yet?
Should a masochist go whipping people around 'cause he'd love to be treated same way?

Nah well, this is probably the most hipocrit "rule" ever created. I think its negative counterpart would be more accuarate, the "Do not treat others the way you don't want to be treated"

Now lets face it, would you respect same way your mother and a pedophile?
Would you treat same way your best friend and a serial killer?
I dunno, I think is way too naive to set "rules" for human behaviour, such complicate creatures we are.
You simply can't apply any rule to 6 billions of individuals, thanks god.

I agree with this statement in regards to people you encounter in real life. Online, however, because of anonymity the statement fails. It's too easy to be wicked - what could possibly harm anyone who sits behind a monitor or laptop?

It's funny actually if all of the cyber bullies and their minions were to actually meet in person the people they demoralize and humiliate online. I predict they'd shrink down to the childish, insecure children that they really are in life.

Awesome stamp. I'm putting it on my journal.

I've always loved this rule; it's what's on the inside of a person that matters, not the outside. Besides, even if a person is rude, that's no reason to be rude back.

NHLoveDani [2010-08-12 18:30:17 +0000 UTC]

beautiful point and I agree with it fully!
But as we all know, this quote is one of the most hypocritical, doncha think? I wish I could follow it- I can- but occasionally it's hard haha. I love that this is on a stamp now though, it's hard to say what I'm thinking without it either coming out wrong or how I want it to come out. I hope this goes out to many more people though!
