Ya, I try to but I will admit I have my moments.

Yes

I always do. If I don't I go into a state of confusion, experience tons of guilt that stops me from functioning properly, and usually end up having an anxiety attack. I don't understand why this happens, but I truly wish it didn't. It's nothing I can help.

I TRY to, but I also can't help but notice that 78% replied YES, but that number is nowhere NEAR what I encounter EVERY day in life:

First you get up, and get in the car to get to work/school. After practically being run off the entrance ramp, because retards want to ride the right lane, then not let people on, they challenge you every lane change you go to make (ths includes the moron BEHIND YOU that sees your blinker on, yet feels he should be in front of you because he is sooo special) as you ram your way over to the HOV lane, only to blow by everyone who challenged you anyway.

Then you get there, and have to practically play bumper cars competing for a parking space that is 10 miles away anyway, so why are we fighting over it?

Then you get out, and need to stop at the market (same driving/parking fun ensues) only to find people that give you the stink eye because you have the utter GALL to ask them to please move (they decide to put their cart diagonal across the aisle, smack in the middle, to take a phone call, when all YOU want to accomplish is get your crap and get out). ...ONLY then do have the distinct pleasure of watching people actually RUN to try to beat you to the checker (this is always funny when you have keen hearing and can HEAR them coming up, so you COULD...

By the time I get home, I only want two things: my cat, and my remote control!

Treat Others the way that YOU want to be treated....every living soul, regardless of species, race, religion, etc., deserves the same rights:

1. The right to live
2. The right to love
3. the right to be loved

I treat everyone with the same respect that I have been treated myself! I never judge.

Yes. It's the ones who are rich and don't care about other people that live by the OTHER rule: "He who has the gold makes the rules".

That would be do unto others and I certianly give it the old school try. I used to tell my kids that they might not get the opportunity to do great good in the world but most of us must make sure we do not harm.

I try too, but this is a flawed concept in and of itself. For example if someone is a masochist then living by the golden rule would be to degrade or make others suffer. So I don't think "the golden rule" is necessarily the best way to go anyway.

Absolutely. If everyone treated others the way they would like to be treated, this world would be a so much better place.

But you forgot the word mutual, 'mutual courtesy and respect' being the crux of reciprocal ethics, reciprocal ethics being part of the cornerstone of equality.

"Treat people the way you would want to be treated."

Oh ok. There are so many golden rules I wasn't sure which one they were talking about. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I think that's usually what people mean when they talk about "the golden rule".
