Golden rule

Treat people like shit, that way they treat you like shit. Don't expect them to treat you like shit though, some people try to be friendly to try and get you to be friendly to them.
An asshole's golden rule is not the same as a friendly person's golden rule.

The Golden Rule

One of those classic "viable only in theory" philosophies that doesn't stand up in the real world.
Two huge problems with The Golden Rule are:

(1) You cannot know what someone else prefers, so if you try to do for him what you yourself like, this does not mean that said choice of actions will be at all pleasant/agreeable for him.
(2) Few folks are actually going "practice the Golden Rule back to you", so if you attempt to "do the right thing" and give someone what you would want if you were in his shoes, he will likely just view you as a foolish sucker and take shamelessly advantage of you --- he will simply "take, take, take" from you till he's totally drained you dry, then stomp off in a huff without even a single word of appreciation or acknowledgement, and feelinglessly look for his next naive soft-heart whom he can exploitingly victimize for his own selfsish personal gain.

The Golden Rule

"Treat others the way you wish to be treated."
It seems that most politicians -- especially Joe Biden and Donald Trump -- have forgotten The Golden Rule. It's time to reintegrate it into society once more.
