Sponsored by hbkcpa.com/consultants/john-j-fedorek/ I love the "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" tenet. It's a keeper. "The Golden Rule" as it is also known, is the foundation for every civilized relationship, organization, collaborative, government and/or group in the wide world. "Do unto others as you would have them do to you." It's a philosophy so simple, logical and compelling that not subscribing to it is absolutely absurd. Not to mention really, really mean and dumb. It's when we forget our empathy for the other humans that we get ourselves into trouble, no? Sure, we're not all going to agree on every little thing. And yes, we are all individuals with our own thoughts, feelings, perspectives and opinions. But at the end of the day, it really only comes down to this: do I want to live harmoniously with the other homo sapiens or don't I? Because, no matter whether you're from the north or south... no matter if you're a rap radical or a Jazz junkie... no matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat or an Independent... no matter if you wear short shorts or ball gowns -- or overalls or long Johns -- or long Johns under your ball gown (no judgement there, BTW)... No matter if you're a toe-head blonde or have a jet black mane... no matter if you are 8 feet tall or 18-inches long... no matter if you have wild, wooly hair sprouting from everywhere or if you don't even have a single one to spare... you just want what all of us want. Stuff like: -Love -Respect -Kindness -Compassion -Companionship -A Sense of Worth -Friendship -Nurturing -Happiness -Peace Ooh and a good cup of coffee. Everyone needs that. okay fine, the occasional piece of chocolate, too. I digress. The beauty of the "Golden Rule" is: as long as you give away everything on that list, you get 'em all back and then some, yo. Except maybe the chocolate. Let's all give it a whirl for a while and see where it gets us, Capise? Peace out, y'all. #StopHatingOthers #LetsGetAlong #TreatOthersWithKindness Jn 8:12 R. Alleluia, alleluia. I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life. Gospel Mt 7:6, 12-14 Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces. "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you..."
