The Golden Rule says that "We should not do to others, what we don't want them to do to us." or "Do to others what you want them to do to you." In short, it's the karma rule. Whatever you give out will get back to you. You can imagine a clear lake. When you throw a stone, the current will spread and goes back to the area where you have thrown the stone. Karma is nature's law, and nature's law is unfailing. It doesn't recognize anyone. When we denude our forests, karma comes to us through floods and soil erosions (landslides). We get what we give out. And this is a law that truly exists. I have several flaws but this motto had helped me become a better person. What about you? What is your belief or motto or guiding principle in life? Kindly share it so we can all learn from it.

Love God. Love your neighbor. Easy to say, hard to do. But I definitely try.

It is hard to beat that guideline. We should live in a way where we are doing to others what we would want them to do for us whether they respond or not. The emphasis is on what we are doing.
