It’s easy, it’s ancient, and we ignore it on a daily basis:
The Golden Rule
Morality comes from EXPERIENCE and we tend to reciprocate based on that experience.
Being lied to teaches us to lie, being ripped off teaches us to steal.
To quote the Pink Floyd song Echos:
“…
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks
And no one tries
No one flies around the sun…”
Note the word “one”…
No one person flies around the sun…to reach the moon we HAD to go together.
Corporate “Persons”, special interests, economic inequality….all of this imbalance will have and does have negative consequences for everyone. The one thing we can do as individuals, which can make the world a better place is to be mindful of ourselves, our attitudes, our judgements.
In as much as we create the world we want to live in, we are also created by that world, as we arrive into it, whatever our circumstance. If we forget this, then we judge others based only on our own circumstance, and we judge poorly as a result.
We live in interesting times…in dire need of more empathy and less trophies and “winning”…
