Why
should anyone take the Golden Rule seriously? The Golden Rule negates
selfishness, but moreover it saves a person from himself. "Do unto
others" means extending yourself to others. It means giving yourself to others, not only
giving, but giving with the right attitude.
In his book, Thanks Be unto God, Robert Rodenmayer offers three kinds of giving:
grudge giving, duty giving, and thanksgiving. “Grudge giving says, ‘I hate to;’
duty giving says, ‘I ought to;’ thanksgiving says, ‘I want to.’ Grudge giving comes
with restraint, duty giving says I’m obligated, thanksgiving is done with a heart
of gratitude and opens the gate to God’s love."
Link
"do unto others" as giving with thanksgiving because it pleases God. It
expresses gratitude for the blessings God has extended to you. It creates feelings
of goodness in your heart and soul. You’re richer because it's collects
treasures kept safe in heaven by God for you. It's an alternative to rage,
stress, and the cares of life.
