The way people treat you is a reflection of the way you treat people.

I intend to implement this policy in my life only in reverse. Maybe that's wrong, but I'm sitting here with a foot up on ice and large gashes in it and I guess at the moment I feel differently. I'm sitting here because I did walk away. I chose to not take up the fight earlier today and in the end was forced into the fight. If I'm going to be forced into the fight anyway - why not engage early on while I still have the ability to get out if needed? I don't want to be analyized. I know that my opinion is "morally" wrong. Seriously though, at this point, I see no reason anymore to do unto other as you'd have others do unto you. The way I see it today is "do unto others before they do unto you".

Hi zhuhuifen, If we had the gift to see ourselves as others see us, we would not be so surprised that they act as they do. The quote that you give is a very good one if only we could see it and start acting as you suggest. Blessings.

I think a lot of the times people treat each other the way they treat people almost as a sense of trying to get them to see how they treat others. I mean if someone was mean and rude to me, then I would be mean and rude right back to them. On the other hand if they were nice to me I would be nice back. I tend to try to treat others with respect and dignity that I would want to be treated with.

This is not necessary that what great writers say is applicable on all.This one is not incorrect but can not be generalized. In many occasions it so happens that people get antagonised and start treating you badly while you are a nice person other wise. There is some truth albeit. If in my usual life course I am a well behaved and sincere person and know how to treat others and if I get known to a large section of people surely they would have an opinion on me and would be polite in their attitude and approach. Relationship is too sensible a matter. It breaks within a second but takes a long time to build up. There should be reciprocation in any relation or else there would be problems.
