I can only right that cosmic balance, supposedly, by suffering. I think it's important to expose those assumptions so that we can know what we're endorsing when we follow the "gold-plated rule" in our lives. .-= Chris´s last blog ..<a href="http://devincontext.com/2010/03/the-responsibility-ethic-part-3-guilt-and-morality/" rel="nofollow">The Responsibility Ethic, Part 3: Guilt And Morality</a> =-.

I notice it most amongst family members, and I often sense the inkling to respond in kind. But since I noticed the devastating effects of the Gold-Plated Rule, I had my suspicions about how moral it is. Patricia, you're most welcome :) The Golden Rule is very difficult to follow, especially when there are so few people setting an example of how to follow it. That's why we need to pay special care to set that example ourselves. Trece, thanks for the feedback. I notice it most amongst family members, and I often sense the inkling to respond in kind.
