RE: Win some STEEM as I celebrate 500 followers milestone! Favourite Quote-of-the-day Contest!

Well, I have the Platinum rule for you: Do unto others as they would have done unto them.

In an older post I wrote about the Golden Rule not being a good life motto if it is being abused by others and so the Platinum rule can be used instead. Also, not everyone wants to be treated the same way as other people do so there can be a problem with how the Golden Rule is applied.

Example, a friend likes to be treated like a princess and so she treats others like a prince or princess too but not everyone likes being served or given stuff they did not ask for. Or if someone backstabbed you, you will backstab them as well, making you vindictive and a negative follower of the Golden Rule thus instead of it being a helpful rule it becomes a harmful tool for everyone involved.

If one uses the Platinum rule, it makes you consider the other person, find out what that person likes and prefers in order to treat them the way they prefer to be treated, and vice versa of course. :)


Anyway, congratulations on reaching 500+ followers!

This is indeed an art to master in our daily social and interaction with people. While it is not easy, one can use their heart to understand what is people's need and emotional quotient.
