What is so hard about living by the Golden Rule? Probably that a**hole who doesn't give a flying sh*t about you or how his actions affect you.

We expect too much of others. If I do something good it makes me feel good. I like doing things for people. If they don't do for me in return it makes me wonder but I don't let that one seemingly ungrateful person stop me from being an upstanding and honorable person maybe they just hada bad case of diarrhea or a incurable to fungus. Along with living up to the golden rule we must also be able to give people the benefit of the doubt.

We are all innately selfish and only want to look out for #1. Sorry, it's a wicked world out here. It's really hard when life slaps you in the face and you realize people are only concerned about themselves.

Because most of the time we don't WANT people to treat us the way we treat them. If we would treat ourselves the way we treat other people, we might stop and realize how crappy we treat others and start treating them the way we really want to be treated ourselves.

Treating people as you would like to be treated is difficult? You're wired wrong.

It is human nature to want what you don't have and not want what you do have.
