What do you mean by a golden rule Christmas?

A christmas where we treat other people like we want to be treated. Thanks for checking that out.

Ah, ok. Well............*giving you a respectful and loving hug*...............

Thank you for the explanation, and for the very good idea.

dude, i am not going to call everyone "your most exhalted potentate and supreme commander" that would just be silly

I believe the golden rule is precious. Treat others like you would like to be treated. Simple and sometimes very hard to do.

honestly, the `golden rule' is my absolute favorite expression/saying/philosophy of all time. has been for a long, long time. thank you gooch. i wish you great patience and understanding.
it is the dharma.
karma is the things you do this life that affect next life.
dharma is that which affects you later in life. could be 5 minutes later, or 50 years, but a lot of people believe what goes around comes around, even if they're not necessarily buddhist.

`treat others as you want to be treated'

wow! as johnny lennon might have said,



Imagine.

It is the best way to live--by the golden rule. This site has been wonderful for me also. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

luv ya gooch..... yer pretty damn special...

The golden rule is all we need as human beings.


hear hear!! A golden rule Christmas, and every day thereafter.

(((hugs)))

I agree with Mr. Nothingman. I have been saying for years that what goes around comes around. I have always tried to be kind and respectful toward others and, unfortunately, have felt like the "oddball" many times. So many people are rude, inconsiderate, and self-centered. You know what, though? Somewhere down the line comes that one person who makes up for all the others.

I just joined this group, but I am so impressed with how kind people are. What a joy of life!

gooch

Your post brought happy tears to my eyes. What a Wonderful World this would be if we all had to the desire to live this way. I believe this rule is the way to live. I agree with you gooch, DS has helped me in so many ways. I am very thankful, also.

Thank you very much for posting .My heart is smiling !!!!!!!!

I don't believe in the Golden Rule

How do yo uhave a golden rule xmas if you are spending it alone

I treat everyone fairly until the 1st time they screw me over... I am not big on forgiveness... so everyone starts off in a good place with me... where they end up depends on their actions... from there it is more like treat others the way they treat you... someone is a bitch to me well I just be a bigger bitch to them or either just completely ignore them... depends on the person and my mood but I won't just say lets be nice to the person and see if they change...

Bloody marvellous gooch! The golden rule is my motto!

Maryjane, I think that many of us here have difficulty with big social occasions. Maybe the golden rule in this instance would mean not pressuring others to conform to others' expectations.
