IF IT WERE YOU!

One Notable Nature Of The Homo Sapiens, In Everything We Do, Say, Think, Or Want, Is The Element Of Selfishness. It Is In Our Blood. We Rarely Consider The Implication Of Our Actions or Inactions On Others, As Long As We Are Happy And Satisfied. No! That Is Morally And Ethically Wrong! Before You Throw A Stone At Somebody, Consider If It Was Thrown At You! Before You Stab Somebody In His/Her Back, Consider If You Were Stab In The Back The Same Way! Before You Malign Somebody’s Character And Integrity, With Intent To Bring Him/Her Down, Consider If It Was Done To You! Understand That Pulling Somebody Climbing The Stairs Down Will Make You Also Go Down. Before You Downplay The Suffering, Trials And Challenges Of Another, Put Yourself In The Person’s Shoes. It Is Very Risky, Insensitive And Inhuman To Criticize A Pain You Haven’t Endured. My Favourite Parable For Living A Positive And Influential Life Is The Golden Rule, Which Says, “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You.” (Mathew 7:12). It Is A Central Ethical Principle That Encourages Treating Others With Kindness, Empathy, And Respect, With The Consciousness Of The Law Of Reciprocal Action. In Other Words, The Law Means That, There Is Always A Commensurate Consequence For Everything We Do To Others, Whether Good Or Evil. Another Of My Favourite Bible Text Is, “God Is Not Mocked, Whatever A Man Sows, That He Will Reap.” (Galatian 6:7). So, - If You Want People To Respect You, Learn How To Respect Others - If You Want People To Honour You, Learn How To Honour Others - If You Want People To Appreciate You, Learn How To Appreciate Others - If You Want People To Talk Good About You, Learn How To Talk Good About Others - If You Want Encourage You, Learn How To Encourage Others - If You Want People To Show You Kindness, Learn How To Shows Others Kindness - If You Want People To Show You Mercy, Learn How To Show Others Mercy - If You Don’t Want People To Malign Your Character And Integrity, Don’t Malign The Character And Integrity Of Others. - If You Don’t Want People To Stab You In Your Back, Desist From Stabling Others In The Back Too, That Which You Do Not Wish For Yourself, Do Not Wish Or Impose On Others. There Always A PAYBACK Time. According To Confucius, “When A Man Is Guided By The Principles Of Reciprocity And Consciousness, He Is Not Far From The Moral Law.” Understand That What Goes Around WILL SURELY Come Around! Before You Do Anything To Others, Ask Yourself The Golden Question, “IF IT WERE DONE TO ME, WHAT WOULD I DO?”
