Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Luke 6:31
I wonder if those things we accept for others,
we accept for ourselves.
I wonder if those actions we meat on others, we
expect for ourselves. Call it an agreement with
fate.
Treating others as we expect to be treated also
says something for that element of psychology we
carry with us.
Ok, people on a lifeboat sinking from too much weight. Someone will have to
get out.
How does one apply the golden rule here?

With fore thought.
You construct your craft with enough lifeboats.

Why would you bother, if you are only on earth to test whether your
soul deserves damnation or blessedness?
People are flawed; their thinking is flawed. I dont see that as a good
enough reason to damn them to hell for eternity. The most violent men
in a Finish prison, murderers all, had FMRI brain scans. they had a
constricted neural pathway from the corpus collosum to the pre-frontal
lobes. When emotionally aroused, they see red, (literally!) and their
pre-frontal lobes nearly shut down.
which a warrior on the front line, sword in hand, would like to have-
the reptilian brain he then runs on has faster reflexes. But damming
him to hell for what he has done makes no sense.
Better than Jesus, is Epictetus:"Do *not* do unto others what is
loathsome to yourself". Leave people the ***** alone. Dont go reading
the gospel to them, or Epictetus, if they dont want it. The world is
just too crowded now to be doing unto others as you would have done
to yourself because there are so many others you cant get anything you
need done for yourself. And they wont do it for you, cause so many are
just too fucking crazy.
