What Happened to The Golden Rule?
by Deborah Ann Belka Once we were all taught, to follow the Golden Rule I remember learning about it way back in grade school. It was an important lesson, that each of us knew and I understood it more as I matured and grew. It was easy to remember, but harder at times to follow and for some it became too much for them to swallow. Treating everyone else, as they would like to be treated sometimes made them feel as if they were being cheated. For, not everyone believed, in turning the other cheek and an eye for an eye made them seem too meek. So, instead ~ revenge, became the new Golden Rule and that is why today . . . people can be so very cruel! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Matthew 7:12 King James Version " Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
