+karma!

I actually don't have a problem with this at all. EXCEPT....for some reason I do feel that we should do good for goodness sake and not because we want protection from bad. However, "treating others as you want to be treated" is always an excellent gauge for how to do it when you aren't sure...or what to do when you are facing some kind of challenge. But, I agree it's beneficial for the good it can inspire. But, it should never be used to assuage one's own feelings of being wronged...or to control another person's actions...
