It is simple, just do what you want to be done to you.
It is meaningless, because the rule doesn't care if the other party will do the same.
Not meaningless. Principle of Reciprocity. Expectations in interactions. ( aware or unaware of them as the case may be) As ever, dependent on the situation and context. It's not black and white.
And it makes no sense, because there is no reason to do this just because. It only limits what you can do for no reason. And thats illogical.
It only limits, when you choose to allow it to do so, you know that as well as I do. ( keep in mind, you will be judged as others similarly judge based on their own moral/ethical codes of conduct ) So, you are the limiting factor. Your choices. And you stated in another post a fair observation that was based on the Golden rule( implicitly) about expectations. Those really are the fly in the ointment of existence.
God doesn't exist and as such, i can chose my own morality and make my own decisions based on my own subjective perspective. And as such i can decide what someone deserves, from my point of view. Which is the best point of view you will have.
...okay...Best point of view? Well, I can see that based on a self centric perspective and one that I share similar to your own. However. at the same time, that basis often takes into account the other ( which remains based on multiple factors ).
I apply the "Do Unto Others As they deserve" and it carries much better effect. Because its not blind to characteristics of the other person.
Mmhmmm....yes. I prefer the simple solution myself. When the FACTS are present. Otherwise, it is similarly deranged. At the same time. the Evidence. But the evidence can lie as well. It can be manufactured. Then what? And you know what? thenfuckit. I totally agree. However, I'd rather not be the one that takes the bullet. Not on your life.
