Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: The problem with the Golden Rule 55
Love your neighbor as you love yourself- the problem with this rule is when you try it with somebody who has an ego larger than your own and no humility. A better version of the rule would be to love others as others wish to be loved; but that would require a level of mind reading and social knowledge that I simply do not possess.
The Golden Rule (Score:2)
There is more in imitation of Christ by doing unto others, knowing there's no personal satisfaction in it. How much has God done, beyond anyone's ability to appreciate?

I know of your distaste for Islam on principle - but hearken the prayer of Muhummad: "Oh Lord, Show me things as they truly are!" That is, not as the "should be" from our perspective - but how they are perfect and complete and universal, from God's POV.

AC: It's interesting to note how you can carry on conversations within your journal without baiting but, in nearly every comment you made to the target, you slipped insults in on a regular basis.
MH42: It seemed the *ONLY* way to get his attention, since he utterly ignored *EVERYTHING* else that I wrote.

You're not obliged to help people hurt themselves, so if what they want is actually harmful, you don't deliver- but the idea isn't treat them as you'd like to be treated in material, but treat them as you'd like to be treated in approach.

That may be a huge part of my problem. I'm not very flexible in my nature at all- it takes me *weeks* before I realize what other people seem to know in an instant. I can't tell the difference between wine people and beer people by looking at them- and I'm almost a sterotypical beer person.

I can't tell the difference, either. Graceful honesty solves many problems that etiquette can't.

Book II: Wei Chang
Chapter 3
1. The Master said, 'If the people be led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments, they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame.
2. 'If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of propriety, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become good.'
Now, I ask you, when's the last time we had a president who lead by virtue? We have too much of the "rule of law" in our society
