In everything, treat others as you would want them to treat you, for this fulfills the law and the prophets.
- Matthew 7:12 (NET)
The golden rule: treat others as you want to be treated; the platinum rule: treat others better than you want to be treated.
Why do we have to be nice to people at all?
Because God said so, and what comes around goes around.
In today’s world everyone is worried about what others think, there are media influencers, celebrity spokespersons, everywhere around us there is someone telling us how to look, think and act.
We are judged by the car we drive, the job we have, the money we spend.
Stop!
It doesn’t matter.
What matters the most is kindness; it costs nothing to be kind to people.
People see and hear the way you treat others, especially when you are not being kind.
Others make excuses for those people by saying they are just “direct”, but sometimes they are not being direct, but using their positions to allow them to bully others.
Don’t be that person.
Be compassionate, even if others are not compassionate toward us.
