if all humans on the Earth followed the morale rule that you should "treat others as you want to be treated" do you think it would make the world a better place.

If everybody treated others with the same respect with which they expect to be treated, do you not think that the world would be a better place? If not, why not? You posed the question and you apparently have some disagreement with the premise. What is it?WhatIf...? said:i m sry i read the post like six times and i still have no idea what that has to do with my post?
WhatIf...? said:maybe but if you were the CEO of a company or a professor and you expected someone to turn somthing in the same relation they expect a raise or a better grade

Let's take a reasonable interpretation of the Golden Rule. I have a car that I want to sell and you want that car. Should I soak you for everything I can get, knowing that I ran it low on oil and walked 5 miles on a "high temperature" alarm, or even worse, that I drove it back the 5 miles while the "high temperature" light was on, though it still might be OK for a lot more miles? Gut check, people! Is it OK to cheat someone by lying to them about something like this?berkeman said:Do you mean literally "did what they were expected to", or do you mean "treated others the way they wanted to be treated"?
There is not much creativity expected in the first case, I agree. But in the second case (the Golden Rule), there are some amazing things possible. I've met some extraordinary leaders who have thought up creative procedures and wonderfully insightful innovations, all based on the Golden Rule.

Yes or no? Is it right or wrong?ranger said:Isn't the American economy based on this?
ranger said:I was referring to the former case. Simply because of predictably and as you've mentioned, the lack of creativity. I definitely have much respect for the Golden Rule. But its hard to find individuals, especially leaders who lead based on this premise. In fact I know of no one, maybe a few professors, but that's it.

This phrase is also known as the Golden Rule and it means that you should treat others with the same kindness, respect, and empathy that you would want to receive from them.
The concept of the Golden Rule has been present in various cultures and religions throughout history, but it is most commonly associated with Christianity and the teachings of Jesus in the Bible.
Treating others with kindness and respect not only makes them feel valued and appreciated, but it also creates a positive and harmonious environment for everyone. It can also lead to better relationships and interactions with others.
You can start by being mindful of your actions and words towards others, and considering how you would feel if you were in their shoes. It also involves being empathetic, understanding, and treating others with fairness and equality.
Following the Golden Rule can lead to improved relationships, increased empathy and understanding, and a more positive and peaceful society. It can also help to build trust, respect, and cooperation among individuals and communities.
