The Golden Rule: Inconsiderate people

First of all i would like to begin by saying there isn't anything wrong with being selfish. Everyone has the right to do what they want to do as long as it doesn't affect the lives of people around them. However, while we may want to be selfish and self centered we are humans and humans are social-able by nature, and if you want people to treat you kindly and consider your needs, wants and desires you have to be able to return the favour. Always remember the golden rule, Treat others the way that you would have them treat you...

This brings me to my main point. If you go out to get something to eat and you live in a house with other people, the considerate thing to do would be to call the persons in the house say i am going to get something to eat do anyone else want something? (you may even want to add that you expect your money back on arrival) The inconsiderate thing to do is to go home with food knowing that there are other people in the house and eat your food alone without offering others to share what you brought. It could just be me but i cannot know that other people are in the house and only buy for me without knowing whether they have eaten or want something to eat too.

It's not just about food (it is right now cause i am hungry :P) But its about the principle. Applying the golden rule i am gonna end by saying apparently people treat you the way they want to be treated... i am not going to overextend myself for people who dont deserve it. The same goes for relationships, friendships and other social settings. If you are in a relationship where the person isnt considering your feelings and you spoke to them about it and nothing changes they are sending you a message that that is how they want to be treated. Therefore, save yourself the heartache and move on or give them a taste of their own medicine.

I know some people are saying two wrongs dont make a right and all that bull but if you are saying that you are probably one of those inconsiderate persons i am talking about.

Peace, Love and Happiness
