Hi, I have a philosophy class and I have to write a fable that is based on the rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I have to read it out loud so I dont want it to be really dumb, and I am a 3rd year science major, I havent had to be creative in years. If anyone has a story line or idea it would really help me out.
Thanks

Pick something about karma --- perhaps something as easy as helping some stranger on a train, and how not doing so (or doing so) worked out. How not getting involved in something that would have been simple for you to do, would actually be very detrimental for another. This would be your 'do unto others'....
plus, you are including Karma (philosophy/religion) into it all.

The butterfly effect is always interesting...a variation off of the law of Karma or the Wiccan rule of three. Something good comes your way, make an effort to send it on to three others anonymously and see how the ripple effect passes through and affects people and society.
A classic story I read when younger, was how an old woman, feeling ill in occupied France during WW II took the time to smile and give a flower to an SS trooper of the Adolph Hitler Division. That trooper just a little while later was in charge of some captured US GI's, and would normally have executed them, but didn't. He told them that that was their lucky day because a an old Frenchwoman had taken the time to smile and hand him a daisy when he felt so homesick. Instead he turned them over to the regular German Army (Wehrmacht) and were interned, they eventually returned home after the war. One of the soldiers that would have died there in Germany, married, had children and one of those children went on to become a doctor who now travels for Children International to 15 different countries providing medical care for those who could never afford it otherwise.
All from a smile and a daisy at a particular time and place.

Philosophy? Blah! LOL. Love or money. that's always good topics. Or combine them both: stealing a heart. You know, having someone break your heart, and then their heart is broken in the same way. I'm just mouthing off, but everyone can relate to that one.
