A Principle to Keep

       A principle to keep is that everyone is society should treat others the way they would like to be treated. Even in apocalyptic times we shouldn't harm others for the greater good of ourselves. Though this can also change depending on the situation. If a person were trying to harm a father and his family the father would obviously try to defend him and his family because the person is not treating them like they would treat themselves. In this situation the father would have to break the principle in order for him and his family to survive. Since people live in a society where this is very unlikely to we should all uphold this principle. Also we shouldn't step on other people in order to better ourselves. Treating others the way you would like to be treated also ties in with the principle of selflessness.
      The principle of selflessness means willing to put the needs or wishes of others before one's own. For example, if a person were to walk down the road, see a homeless person begging for money, and will most likely continue on with their life. Now flip the roles, that person is now homeless and he also wants the same thing as the previous homeless person but he is does not receive because the person just walks past. This example ties in with both principles of being selfless and treating others the way you would like to be treated. A way of being selfless is by giving back, that way all of society can see if they were to live by these principles, people would benefit from their good doing. When a person lives these principles there thought process flips from "ME" to "WE".
