"Do to others what you would like them to do to you"


“When I was teaching children I began every day writing this on the blackboard: "Do to others what you would like them to do to you", telling them how much better the world would be if everybody lived by this rule.” 


Growing up we all heard this common quote.  Thomas Paine had a good point in saying that if we could all live by that rule then the world would be a much better place.  I think that the world would be a better place if we could follow it.  If we could all stop thinking about ourselves and instead think about others for once then maybe we wouldn’t have the problems we have today.  The truth is that even though if everyone would say that they would live by this rule it would be impossible.  As human beings we have so many faults, we have different perspectives of things. We weren’t born to be perfect but we can try to do our best.
