Treating Others

The Golden Rule is; treat others like you want to be treated.  How about this take on it; treat others the way they want to be treated.  It really is the same as the Golden Rule.

How do you want to be treated? I believe we all want to be loved, appreciated, respected, and needed.  We just go about it in different ways. Some folk, the worse you treat them, they more they like it. Never really understood that one, but I have seen it too many times; so I know it’s true.  How we interpret love, appreciation and need are different I suppose.  The key to it is to know how others want to be treated.  We all want to be treated the same way; just in different means.  Take time to learn other people’s personality and how they desire to be treated.  This takes relationship with people. We have to set aside our own agenda when we establish relationships.  Treat others the way they want to be treated. It is a lifestyle not a holiday or occasional thing.
