Or not.
You choose.

Question of the Day: No. 530
depends on the day. sometimes im just crabby but i think that has to do with anxiety and such. other than that each person has about one or two chances with me regardless of type. i try to see good in everyone cuz i used to do it the other way and it was exhausting ❤️
Yes! Trying to see the good in all is a great way to live. 🦋
As much as possible a do try to treat others as would like to be treated- to say no when I don’t want to do something is a tricky one
Yes! I always feel bad saying no. But we have to treat ourselves with respect, too! 🕊
Do not do unto others that which is hateful to you.
Agreed! 🕊
I treat them all equally. I mainly be polite to them even if she was to be the person who would be last on the list.
Great way to think! 🕊
Thank You
I’d like to think that I try my best to make the other person feel heard and loved. But there’s always days where I’m a little more selfish than I think I am. However, the goal is help others have a better day than when they started 🙂
I love this! 🦋
Good😍🇰🇪
So simple, yet so important! 😎
It always pays to treat people the way you would like to be treated. This can be hard, when life has you under someone’s foot, but worth remembering…
It can be difficult at times, but you’re right: always worth it. 🦋
Only a few days ago my daughter told me something like this:
“My character is on me
My attitude is on you”
hm… there´s a great portion of truth in this (even though the attitude in the moment will depend on personal state of mind/ mood too).
Wow! I love that. Sometimes people assume we have an attitude, but really we’re just having a bad day! 🕊
just the way … i want them to treat me … with respect ♥️ that’s it
Simple, yet powerful! 🕊
yes♥️
Like most, I like to think I’m a ray of sweetness and light. Because, I’m a good person. At least, I think so. My mission statement includes words like kind, open, tolerant, accepting, loving, patient. I wonder what that guy I blasted my horn at thinks? Or the clerk I rolled my eyes at? It was mostly inadvertent. I think the truth is this: I’m lovely, most of the time, with the people I know and love. Mostly. I’m adequate, most of the time with strangers. However, on social media (some of the time) and out in the world (some of the time), I can also be a right git. Not “shame me on social media” bad. But, I’m not the Mother Theresa of my imaginings, either. 😐
Yep! All we can do is try our best. 🙃
I do my best every single day and in every interaction I have. I try to be kind, considerate, polite, and respectful. At least those are the things I strive for. I was lucky to have been raised by good people who taught me the importance of these things. When I fail, i try to do better the next time.
On a side note, when I read your question, I had an interesting initial reaction. For the first time in my life, I thought how odd it sounded. How do I “treat” others. We use “treat” in other contexts, and that word, for the very first time, felt weird. Doctors “treat” patients, so there’s this sort of very cold and clinical feeling that comes with the term. It’s a wonder that we don’t have another way to say this or a more appopriate verb. I know all this comes from me being such a language person, such a geek. On the nerd accusation, I have to plead guilty.
Thanks, Snapdragon.
You’re right! ‘Treat’ is a strange verb to use. As always, thanks for making me think, Troy! 😎
I tend to be pretty nice to people and I’m shy and can be a little bit of a push-over, but I also sometimes talk behind people’s backs.
Thank you for your honesty, friend. None of us are perfect! 🦋
I always try and be respectful to everyone but there will always be that one idiot out there that does not get the respect I will give to others
Some people definitely blow their chance at respect! I try to always give people the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes people show their true colors. 🤷🏻♀️
I tend to treat others with kindness and respect while being friendly! Restricting my time spent with others who have a constant negative energy ( I really feel the energies of others). Thank you for this post & have a great weekend 😊🌸
I too, absorb the energy of others. It is so important to choose our company wisely! Thanks, friend. Be well. 🕊
I do my best to treat others with kindness, love and respect. Thanks for this post. Have a great day 😄
Those are great! Thanks, friend. Same to you. 🕊
For the most part I go by the golden rule: treat others the way I want to be treated. That doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days, when I get hurt by someone, I’m tired, or just human. And I try to remember that about other people too.
Love this! A great way to approach each day.
Everyone is worthy of time. The hope we can offer through choosing to be kind can be immeasurably more than we will ever know.
Absolutely! 🕊
