what do you think of the saying?

Question

do unto others as you would have them do unto you and do you live by that?

Answer 1

Yes, I like to think i've been polite to everybody, &even when i do confront someone , i do it w/couresy. & i wont back down but stand up for what s right .

have lost my temper before & asked for forgiveness though. nobody's perfect.

good question dude !

Answer 2

I try to do unto others without thinking about myself. I can understand this principle, and it is a nice one, but I rarely think of myself when dealing with others, and am usually just concerned for them.

Answer 3

Yes this phrase is true to its core and if all of the earth's inhabitants could follow and imitate the phrase then the world would had been a better place to live in. But still the present condition of the world proves that whatever Bible says is so true.

Answer 4

I suppose it's a decent idea and we could certainly do worse.

It's not really functional though. People have different ideas of what is appropriate behavior and what is not.

Instead of living by the "golden rule" I try to take AT LEAST one opportunity a day to brighten someone's life. It's called being "socially responsible". If I accidentally offend someone I take the time to apologize and learn what about my behavior offended them. My grandmother used to tell me "Manners don't cost anything until you forget to use them."

Answer 5

Actually, I like the original better. It was spoken by Hillel the Elder, a Jewish scholar around 60 years B.C.E:

"A popular anecdote tells of the heathen who asked Hillel to teach him the entire Torah in the time he could stand on one foot. Unperturbed, Hillel answered, 'What is hateful to thee, do not do unto your neighbor. This is the whole Torah and the rest is commentary; go and study it further!'"

To me - that says it all.

I try to live up to it; I fall flat on my face sometimes, but I believe there's merit in continuing to try.

Answer 6

Anyone who reads the answers above would think that our societies are living very high moral lives, where the facts shows different .
Read newspapers to see how corrupted the society from the top of the pyramid to the bottom.

Answer 7

I love that saying, it's a great one it should be a rule. I'm not going to say that I always live by it, because I am human and i'm no angel, but I try my hardest to always live by that rule and put myself in other peoples shoes and think of how i would feel if i was treated that way.

Answer 8

I believe in Karma so yeah this is pretty much the same thing. If you go through life being kind and respectful to others then it normally will come back to you. If you treat people crappy then well you get crapped on.

Answer 9

Yes that is one on the best quotes that has been said by many some long before Jesus had repeated it. Remember that Jesus was taught in the temples so all his words, not his he just paraphrased them. Just as he used many analogies to make his point.

Answer 10

I personally think that it's the only message of the Bible worth learning and I wonder why it wasn't the first on the list of ten...

I believe it would be possible to eliminate all need for religion if only a few simple philosophies, including this one, would be learned and followed by all.

Add whatever you like to this short list and I think you'll probably do pretty well in life:

-- Treat others as you would have them treat you.
-- Speak to yourself in complete honesty.
-- Nothing is more valuable than evidence for knowing the truth.
