Default Think about this...

What if we treat the world the way we want the world to treat us?!
Think about the change it would bring us and the world we live in.

This is why I have been an activist about the matter of climate change.
Nature provide things that makes humans to make money.
Humans destroy nature and provide energy to nature to feed climate change.
Money can't fight or neutralize energy.
Natural disasters are likely to cause a permanent world recession.

Hmmm, I want to be a lazy sob so if I treat the world as a lazy sob they'll treat me that way too?

Is it just me or can this be either positive or negative depending on the person and the idea?

That is a very interesting question,
but - is that the way you want the world to treat you?
Do you want a lazy treatment from the world?

Where's the "it depends" option? Because there are times where it doesn't matter how you treat the world, it's not going to change how it treats you or how it treats others. Depends on who "the world" is at a given time.

However, I do think the "golden rule" touches on an important principle, that being to stand by your principles. I think the world would be a better place if everyone defined their principles and stood by them, even if some of them weren't particularly noble in their choices. And when you think about it, knowing your principles, knowing your heart, is necessary for "the golden rule" to work in the first place.

Well, will you look at this:

Will not change a thing rated a 0% share of the votes !!!

Isn't that good to know that there are more positive posters here than negative. The world needs more people like us, I'm not shy to say.

I think it would be a huge leap forward for us.

I've always said that if you want to change the world then the way to do that is to change yourself and show the world that change so that they can be inspired by it.

I believe it will make a small change. I also believe that small change can create the opportunity for other small changes and can indeed change the world.
