“Do unto others as you would have done unto you” is also known as the Golden Rule. It spans time and cultures, reaching back all the way to Ancient Egypt and into classrooms around the world today.
Most people don’t want to be miss treated and abused, so with this golden rule is telling us to do is to be compassionate and kind to other people, the generous when you can, and generally, don’t be an ass.
It’s not saying to be romantic with everyone, over to show them the same types of love, but love does come in many forms and sometimes it can simply be showing kindness to somebody for no other reason than to be kind.
The level is to say that you are kind to everyone simply because it is the right thing to do.
Now what does it mean when they say to trust a few?
I have a close circle of friends. Every other week I used to get together with them and enjoy a good game night with nine or 10 people.
I was respectful to all of them, we all had a mutual level of respect for each other, at the same time out of those dozen individuals. It wasn’t that I didn’t care about the others. I did, and it’s not to say that they all didn’t hear at least a little bit of a moaning about my friends and it’s not to say that I had any issues with any of them.
To put it simply, despite the fact I considered some of them friends, I did not trust them enough to open up about all aspects of my life.
Some of them knew things were going on, but in the same way I didn’t talk to them about everything, it was a year before I found out one of those guys real last name, because he was a private individual and he didn’t want people to just be on the hunt him down online easily.
Basically, when they say trust a few, it means be careful about who you are friends with, and how much you share because not everyone has the best intentions and you need to guard yourself a little bit.
And lastly, what does it mean to do wrong to none?
This isn’t to say you should let people take advantage of you, and this isn’t saying that you shouldn’t defend yourself if someone comes after you.
What they are saying is that you should not treat people wrong, he’s not abuse them or take it vantage of them or miss treat him for just any old reason.

Thank you …We only have so much time on this earth, only so many days and we can’t guarantee how much time we have. We shouldn’t use what little time and energy we have hurting other people and as a result dampening their time on this earth unnecessarily.
Do not allow others to take advantage of your kindness. Take precautions. Be safe. Have clearly defined boundaries and do not let anyone violate your boundaries without a fight.
You should only trust the fewest closest people to you, and give only those few the benefit of an exemption to your normal boundaries of acceptable behavior.
Do not harm others. Do not be vindictive or vengeful. When you hurt others, you are not just hurting them. You are also hurting their loved ones who may not deserve that.
You are also hurting yourself, your reputation and appearance in the eyes of others, and your likelihood of really becoming the kind of harmful person you probably will regret later.
The good is to love all. Just because we don’t like somebody, doesn’t mean we have to be mean to them. Next is bad, trust is fewer.
Trust has to be earned. We all know strangers have the best candy, but because of different intentions, family and friends will always come first.
And lastly, when it comes to do no wrong to none, it can get ugly. But when all else fails, treat others the way you will want to be treated. And it doesn’t get any uglier than that!
Do you want to add a word or two?….
We assume everyone else is genuine in their love and compassion, too.
It takes many painful lessons to learn that some people fake it, hoping to get something for nothing. Giving someone what they need and getting nothing in return hurts.
Why do you keep doing that?
Probably you were groomed to do it, as I was. Growing up, someone trained you to be kind and caring, regardless of how you were treated. You learned to deny your own needs in hopes of gaining recognition for your sacrifice.
Studies in behavioral conditioning have shown that the best way to encourage a behavior is by decreasing the frequency of rewards over time.
The rewards are consistent at first, then gradually become more random and less frequent, until the reward is rarely granted. Still, the subjects persist in repeating the behavior in hopes of receiving a reward, even if is unlikely to be delivered.
Good people get hurt the worst when we believe we’ll be rewarded for our actions. If we expect to be rewarded for our kindness without learning to identify those who will take advantage, we are causing our own pain.
Your comments ….
Goodness is a power. Enormous power. You can do magic and create wonder with that.
There is a different level of enlightenment in good people which places them at a position high above the average shallowness that this world is filled with and it is with this enlightenment that a good human derives the power to defeat the shallowness and uplift the mediocrity.
When faced with cheat or hurt, a good person can either choose to use his power, his goodness and wisdom to uplift the shallowness or be drowned in it.
You can either be consumed or controlled by the people or circumstances around you or can win it. Choice is yours. Darkness is contagious; but so is light. Choose to see the light, choose to be the light.
That is the thing about good humans, they not only are able to create a meaningful life for themselves by using their power, but they also create room to eliminate the shallowness of the world with whatever little they do. A good human is an asset for humanity and this universe.
To conclude, being good is about being beautiful inside-out. It is about being in a completely different state of enlightenment and peace. It is about being unfazed and powerful in little and massive ways.
Every time you mistreat someone, you reveal the part of you that lacks love and needs to heal.
