There is no ethos, in my opinion, that is better for any lawyer or any other person to have. By and large the people who have this ethos win in life and they don’t win just money, not just honors. They win the respect, the deserved trust of the people they deal with…”

In my experience, the people who have this ethos are loved by their communities, but not appreciated.

People who follow the Golden Rule are often swindled, cheated out of the wages due to them, downsized, and abandoned.

The Golden Rule probably makes God appreciate the people who practice it, but their fellow humans are not so appreciative.

If we could get everyone to follow the Golden Rule, society would be wonderful, and much different.

In fact, society is run by psychopaths, particularly the banks and think tanks. Henry Kissinger isn’t going to stop persuading the Pentagon to bomb civilians just because someone in Middletown, USA follows the Golden Rule.

Taking a broad interpretation of “do as you would be done by,” a good Christian would want to be corrected when he is in a state of sin. Thus a good Christian should be willing to correct the actions of war criminals. Somehow it never seems to work out that way.
