Treat others the way they are treating you

what you said reminds me of another saying: Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles me. Or to say, we will not attack unless we are attacked. It's kind of a principle that we follow. Hope it would be helpful:)

While I do understand what your saying, I just could not personally treat people the way they treat me. I cannot be mean most of the time. Some of my family members treat me really badly but I cannot work up the courage to be mean in return to them. I always feel guilty when I am mean to anyone... Even if they do deserve it. But for some people they can do this and it will probably work out for them, it will show the people that are mean to them if you treat me bad I will treat you bad in return. I just cannot do it myself...

I don't have a mean bone in my body so I could never treat someone like that if they are treating me that way. I have learned to just stay away from people who are not nice or that I don't like. Thankfully they are few and far between. Some people can be mean to others if they are being treated badly but I'm not the type to be a B*&^% or a fighter. I feel karma will always get these people in the long run. I just hope I get to see it.

Remember also the saying(I'm not sure how it was stated), If someone throws you stone, throw back bread to him. While the don't do unto others... is a good rule to follow but I don't think this one will be as good as the other. Have a nice day!

I agree with you and the golden rule. However, what if someone wrong and bully you. I think we should do the opposite and still do good to them though that is kind of difficult to do.

It's more complicated than it may seem. I don't want to harm people, even without intention, and especially when they didn't done nothing bad to me. And I used the same principle in shaping my behavior. But there were so many times, when I thought people would like something (because I do) and it was the opposite. I think everybody enjoys different things and is hurted by different things, so you have to know the person first. For example, I would so much like to meet the actual girlfriends of my ex-s, because I remained in good relationships with them. I find it natural and enjoyble. And I think I have some things in common with those girls if we fall in love with the same man. But not all people think the same. So, it's not only a principle to avoid when you try to protect yourself, but also when you try to be kind with others.

I like to treat people the way i want to be treated. If they are mean to me i just ignore them and find people to be with that are nice to me. I cant stand to be mean to anyone no matter how hard i might try or want to get them back for being mean to me.It just isnt worth the effort and i just cant be mean to people.
