Do Unto Others...

   When one chooses to 'name-call', referring to others as 'stupid', idiotic', or, using ANY, other, disparaging, commentary, to describe a person, or persons, this, simply, shows a great LACK of self-respect, in my opinion; For, if one, truly, regards him or herself as a 'divine'-entity, understanding, as well, that, regardless a person's behavior, he or she is, STILL, a 'child of God', deserving of respect, one will NOT hurl insults at others. This is, simply, how things 'work' when one, honestly, loves the Lord, him or herself, and, others. Certainly, we are all entitled to our, personal-opinions, and, sometimes, we may think we have a 'right' to remark, callously, against and toward another. Well...all things being equal, if the 'tides were turned', we, surely, wouldn't wish to be the receivers of such, negativity...would we? In my 'world', which, I will, openly-admit, is, often, one filled with high-standards and 'ideals', I believe, that, if we practiced the 'Golden Rule' of 'treating others the way we wish to be treated', 'the world', as in EVERYONE'S world, WOULD be a better-place. And...speaking of 'reality' here's a real-dose of it. One CANNOT expect from others what one is not capable of him or herself. So...don't go looking for change, outside of yourself; Instead...BE the change you desire to see in the world. As a 'starting-place' keep in mind, that, a, little, bit of 'kindness' goes a LOOOOOONG way! Just Sayin'...
