Treat others

posted October 5th, 2019 at 4:34 PM

I am not sure about the saying “treat others like you would treat yourself”. The more I learn about how varied our life perspectives are, including how trauma shapes the mind, the more I feel like I have to listen and observe more. I try to show care for others by observing or asking how they want receive love but am so used to my own lense that I often mess it up. I guess that’s life. I just hate knowing that others can’t receive my care or love because I sent it out wrong.

there is no saying of " “treat others like you would treat yourself”." They saying is "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you".

Not how it's said and for good reason

I've treated myself pretty shitty in the past. I didn't always love myself as I should have, but I never treated others that way, nor would I want to have them treat me that way. I treated people far better than treated myself, especially those that I have loved, and sadly far better than some of them deserved. Some were there just to use me. The saying is do unto others as you would have them do unto you (just fyi).

There is a problem here

The golden rule is 'treat others as you would have them treat you', Maybe that's where your problems lie...Make the change and change humanity...

Well at least

As George Bernard Shaw put it: “Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same“.

have a room mate that had volatile parents. He learned, in his formative years, that yelling and screaming was how love is expressed between people that love each other. He goaded me quite a bit to get me to do the same. So even the "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." is a load of crap.
