The Golden Rule

The Golden Rule
is still an excellent tool
and we should always apply it.
It is as profound as Newton's law
and its only flaw
is that too few people actually try it.

Good "rule of thumb" to go by. Too bad the government doesn't use it
when making laws.

When you were young, and your heart was an open book, you used to say:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

But if this ever changing world in which we live in, makes you give it a
cry:

The law of altruism:

"Whatever does the greatest good for others directly causes the greatest
good for oneself."

One way for wording it, anyway.

Interesting that almost all of the founding fathers of the the
greatest (by almost any measure) nations to have ever existed had a
belief in the "Christian" God. Almost make you wonder how they were
able to craft this country without the ability to think - as you
claimed.

You think America is a great nation?
You SERIOUSLY think this?
Great by whose standards? Americans?
Certainly not by the rest of the world! ;)

In general places where the Hindu religion is practiced and who believe in
the Hindu gods are more peaceful than those who believe in the Christian god.
Those who know that reincarnation is a FACT - again...
