To me the saying is about empathy. If you were to percive suffering from anothers perspective, you would be discouraged from making that person suffer.\nBut then does that mean that we are all selfish creatures, only not doing bad for fear that we might one day be on the recieving end? I don't think so; I genuiely think we are onditioned aginst causing others pain. Of course there are exceptions to this.\nThe biggest problem facing the idea today is the fact that we are encouraged to divide into "them" and "us". People who do not share the same country/race/religion as us are portrayed as less human and therfore less deserving of this empathy. With these people we are encouraged not to care about their well being.\n\nPerhaps the phrase should be "Treat ALL others.."\n\nSorry I couldnt think of an example ;)

I can answer that with another question.  When you feel bad because of the way someone treats you, does that make you want to be just as bad as they are?\n\nWhy would you?  There is great honor in being better than those around you.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you or go to jail.

Wait, that was a rule?! Ha ha, j/k with that one. \nYa know, a lot of people I know value that rule, and you know what, the people who do treat people like $#17 must also have the rule in mind, if you know what I mean. That's just opening the door to be treated like how they want to be treated. \n\nMoral here : Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if they really hate you when the do things unto you, then do something equally bad or worse unto them. \n\nAnd if they say, "Hey, what the f***'s your problem?"\nJust smile and reply "Just treating you how you want to be treated, jxkffld." where jxkffld is your word of choice. My preference is beotch. ^_^\n\nAnd a final note: This isn't an invitation to go killing someone or anything like that because they are acting rude. I hate violence really, so keep it clean. You can make them really annoyed, make a new enemy, but keep it clean. ^_^

In order to figure out my "self-esteem" I need to think about the things I am doing.  If I am acting well, not like a jerk, then I esteem myself.  (Esteem is another word for respect.)  If I am acting like a jerk, then I should not hold myself in high esteem.  I should only hold myself in high esteem if I am doing good things -- my guess is that gang members and killers hold themselves in high self-esteem, but for no good reason.

I think the most common tenant of modern religions, (not always observed by their disciples) is the Golden Rule... "Treat others as you would like to be treated."\n\nIt usually works for me.

Very simple: treat people how you wish to be treated. That's it. Now go live it.

Loving yourself, first. If you do that, then others will love you too, and you'll be able to love them in return.

I would treat others the way I want to be treated.  That's just common sense.

Lots of answers, huh? lol Hey, this is actually a GOOD question. Maybe that's why no one else recognized it. A little humor never hurt. ;-) But, my answer ... The ancient Greeks had a saying. They said: "Know thy self." The thought being that if you REALLY knew the truth about yourself you'd know the truth about others as well. A sense of true person-hood. It brings out certain things in a person that creates within that person a good take on social responsibility. The person who knows self tends to treat others with respect and tolerance. And understanding, kindness, all coupled with a good dose of knowing that the other person is only human, just like "me". That cuts way back on being judgmental and having unrealistic expectations. It also seems to extend itself to things other than other people. Things like fairness in politics and political views, environmental concerns, etc. Now, I don't know if that makes sense to you. Hey, to each his own and Live and Let Live I say. Of course I have a sense of true person-hood and so feel my own social responsibility. So there ya go. ~ Peace & Blessings ~
