Loading ...Karma is a powerful force in the universe whether you choose to believe in it or not. I’m a big believer in Karma because I believe that Karma is really all about the long term implications of decisions that are made in the present. In the same way ripples extend out from the point a pebble impacts the pond, the effect that a decision has on those around us extends outwards beyond our comprehension. I think this is the same reasoning that fueled the creation of the ethic of reciprocity or “The Golden Rule” which is a fundamental moral principle found in virtually all major religions and cultures. The “Golden Rule” simply means “treat others as you would like to be treated.” It is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights. My number three rule, therefore, is really nothing new…
“Always treat others as you would want to be treated.”
This is also known as empathy or the ability to put oneself in another’s shoes. If you think first about how you would want to be treated in a situation and then apply that criteria to the other person or persons in the situation then you will find that the experience will most likely be a positive one.
