The Golden Rule

The message of the golden rule is to treat others the way you would like to be treated. This is my answer because, in class, we discussed different versions of the golden rule, but Ms.Crosbie said that they basically all mean that. A way I would express the golden rule in my own words would be: if there is something you don't want others to do to you, don't do it to others. This is basically saying treat others the way you want to be treated. If everyone behaved according to the golden rule, no one would upset anyone else. Everyone would be treated kindly, assuming that is how everyone would want to be treated. Sometimes, people don't behave according to the golden rule because they don't like someone or they disagree with someone, so they treat them with disrespect. For example, if one person says they enjoy doing homework and another person disagrees with them, that person might make fun of them because they don't like their opinion. This is my answer because sometimes different opinions can cause arguments, and most people don't like to be caught in an argument. Thanks for reading my Post about the golden rule.
