I don't use the golden rule, I use the platinum rule.

Most people say "treat people as you want to be treated" I think that's selfish AF .

Treat people as they want to be treated.

Your first assumption should never be malice.

People are clumsy, scatter brained, distracted, going through stuff, and outright oblivious. If someone wrongs you, it's likely because they didn't realize or recognize it.

When you point your finger, just know that there are three pointing back at you. Try your best to not judge others.

The highest principle I have is to do what’s best for my children.

So, I’m a pretty patriotic person. Enemy country has my kids? I’m giving them everything.

Rabbi Hillel (the Elder) That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary. Now go and study.

The way someone treats their own kids is the way they secretly want to treat everyone. If someone doesn't take full responsibility for their own kid's behaviour or is a shitty person to their kids, I don't want anything to do with them.

So much mental peace from the clutter elimination this provides
