The Golden Rule

I know we've all been brought up to obey the Golden Rule but that may be part of the problem with society!

It sounds good in theory, but it falls apart in practice. It assumes that everyone wants to be treated the same as you but with so many cultures in the world we see that's not the case. The Platinum Rule states:

See how much more sense this makes? Treat people the way they want to be treated. But even that can be improved upon. While researching this blog post I came across the Platinum Plus Rule!

People may have a negative self-image and not think that they deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Plus we may not always be at our nicest.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with the Golden Rule? The Platinum Rule? The Platinum Plus Rule? Or maybe something else?

Interesting days

Today - Mail Order Catalog Day and Bad Poetry Day "I sent a letter to a mail-order store, concerning some merchandise I bought before" That's the first line to a song I wrote in college called "Damaged Merchandise"

Tomorrow - Photography Day and Aviation Day. This would be a good day to hang out at the airport and take pictures of planes. Just make sure you don't look too suspicious while doing it! It's also World Humanitarian Day

Next Tuesday - It may be almost worth starting a fight just so you can celebrate Kiss And Make Up Day. It's also Whisky Sour Day After too many of these you may need to kiss and make up. Or maybe giving her a couple of these will make it easier for her to forgive you!

September 18 - Hug A Greeting Card Writer Day And with SendOutCards everyone can be a greeting card writer! It's also Cheeseburger Day You know I'm there! And it's Water Monitoring Day and Respect Day
