We all know what it is. Virtually every religion has some version of it. Most of us are schooled in it from a very early age. It is both simple and easy to understand…treat others the way you want to be treated.
Here is today’s question:
If we agree that the golden rule is a good maxim to
help us live a good and harmonious life why aren’t we treating ourselves better?
Honestly, the most important person in your daily life
is you. Yet many people don’t eat good nutritious food, don’t get enough rest,
do little to no exercise, pollute their minds with meaningless drivel, and have
an interior monologue of negativities. Do you really want other people to treat
you the way you treat yourself?
Are you ok if I throw some junk food at you, call you
names, make you stay up all hours of the day and night, and fill your airwaves
with information and entertainment whose sole purpose is to make you feel worse
about yourself? Really? You are Ok with that?
I didn’t think so. Instead of spouting off about how
poorly people are treating you and others around you, maybe taking a look at how you
talk to yourself and treat yourself is in order.
Just think about it. And then try to treat yourself
better. If it doesn’t work you can always go back to abusing yourself when you’re
done treating yourself well.
Just my 2 cents.
