Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you.
It occurred to me, when I was old enough to make rules of my own, that they should be fair and simple.
I keep waiting for the roof to cave in. I was raised to follow the Golden Rule, you know, treat people the way you wish to be treated. That's kind of the way I live my life. Maybe someone up there likes me for that.
But if the young are never tired of erring in conduct, neither are the older in erring of judgment.
When you are younger you get blamed for crimes you never committed and when you're older you begin to get credit for virtues you never possessed. It evens itself out.
I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people's truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave.

You don't usually get treated unfairly. You usually get what you deserve.
My mother was a Bible student, and when I was a youngster, both my mother and father would say, 'If people would only live by the Golden Rule, there wouldn't be the problems that there are.' In other words, 'treat people the way you want to be treated.' If somebody mistreats you, two wrongs won't make a right.
Golden rule of life: never underestimate your rivals.
