What is the Golden Rule? Though it can be worded various ways, it basically states that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated. At its simplest form it suggests we respect one another. Easier said than done for some individuals.
Respect is not an option, it's a necessity. It is essential for our daily interaction within society and for our self worth. This simple truth is usually taught to us at a early age by our family. Respect for one another is now viewed as an outdated, old fashioned ideal.
I was taught growing up to always be respectful of others because you would accept nothing less in return.
