Ever notice, that how you treat people in your life today is the single, biggest factor in determining how people in your life tomorrow, even totally different people, will treat you?
It always works and it works because people universally demand respect, love, and appreciation, whether they deserve it or not. Do you want to be shown respect? Then respect others. Do you crave a kind word? Then speak words of kindness to others
All religions of the world have similar advice:
Christians say: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
In Confucianism the advice is: "Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you" (Analects 15:23)
In Hinduism their rule says: “This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you” (Mahabharata 5:1517)
In Buddhism the saying is : “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful" (Udanavarga 5:18)
A Universal truth, live it and enjoy life and treat others with respect, love and appreciation and kindness.
Wise words indeed - not always easy!
