Monday Motivation From Scriptures (MMFS-10): The Golden Rule

Hi
It’s Christmas time. Let’s take a look at another story from The Holy Bible. It is about the Golden Rule, “Do unto others what you want others would have unto you.” Treat others in the same way you want them to treat you. Do not behave in any way that you don't want others to behave with you. The story of David and Goliath shows the way….
-------------------------------------------
The Golden Rule
Goliath was a huge giant of about 10 feet height troubling King Saul, his army, and his people. They were all terrified of him. No body dared fighting Goliath. But David, having faith in the God, fought and killed Goliath. But, he never expected anything in return. However, King Saul was jealous of David as people were liking David more than they like him. He tried to kill David several times, but David escaped. One time, David had an opportunity to take Saul’s life. But he did not kill him. He had no intention of harming him. He did not seek any revenge. He did not like to be unkind just because Saul was unkind to him. He rather wanted to be kind to Saul as he wanted Saul to be kind to him too. 
-------------------------------------------
Whenever you are kind and caring for others, you are living the Golden rule.  It is being good not for any rewards, but for just goodness sake.  All acts of kindness and gestures of goodness at home and office would mean that we are willing to accept the responsibility to act in a kind way. The Golden Rule can be a great crosscheck for anyone to ask oneself before doing anything – Is this what I would like others also do to me, say to me, treat me, behave with me?

With love and regards,
Siva
