Golden Rule

Treat others the way you want to be treated – not the way they treat you! What’s wrong? Does that sound like it doesn’t make sense? If someone does you wrong, why should you do right by them? Well…

 Read in between the lines
 It’s not as complicated as it seems

 This has nothing to do with revenge

 Nothing to do with schemes

 Everything to do with karma

 A little about being polite

 As we learned at the age of five

 Two wrongs don’t make it right

 If two wrongs doesn’t make it right

 Then that should be all you need

 To never intentionally cause harm

 Your pride should not supersede

 What you know is true already

 Don’t stoop down to being petty

 Just be real with yourself

 Don’t fake it like Machiavelli

 When a person does you wrong

 You know karma is coming to them

 But as soon as you retaliate

 Just know it’s coming around again

 Then the vicious cycle begins

 Round and round it goes

 Until everyone is worn out

 Now who delivers the last blow?

 Someone has to stand up

 Then throw their hands up

 And realize it’s not worth it

 Most places we call that “man up”

 Manning up is for men and women

 Don’t focus on that and get offended

 This is intended to open your heart

 And if it’s broken this is to mend it

 What’s done in the dark

 Will one day come to light

 So take off your gloves

 There’s no need to fight

 Because you’d be fighting yourself

 And the karmic forces

 Think before you act

 Is the motto I’m endorsin’

 If it’s too painful or shameful

 To not attack the attacker

 Then ‘ready, set, hike’

 Go ahead and be the linebacker

 But know that’ll get you no where

 You can act like you have no fear

 You can even turn a deaf ear

 So exit right off my blog if you don’t care

 But since you’re here I guess you do

 There’s not much more for me to walk you through

 One last thing and it’s not new

 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
