subject: Stop Being Manipulated By People [print this page] And if you follow this tenet throughout life's journey, things actually do tend to go well. People really do like to be treated with respect, of course. Go figure. But it goes so much deeper than that. If you're a guy, keeping TGR (i.e. "The Golden Rule") in mind could prove instrumental in curing you from such debilitating ailments as kissing up to women, giving your power away, premature ejaculation, viewing sex as the sole purpose of dating, allowing nerves to get the best of you, doing creepy stuff, and robbing banks.
Have you ever thought of any potential challenges in approaching and seducing MOTOS (Members Of The Opposite Sex) in that light before? If not, consider that "bonus material", because I've got something much deeper than that to share.
For starters, I'm pretty sure that most of us have figured out that a fair number of people with whom we share this planet don't exactly live by TGR. For them, it's more like "Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You". I've never encountered a specific name for this particular twist on the original, but it's decidedly the "dark side" equivalent. And the way I see things, it's about as worthless as anything else coming from a position of complete, utter disdain for personal character. So let's call it "The Plastic Rule". How about "The Styrofoam Rule"?
That so many people think they can go through life with such a mindset and actually experience any semblance of success in life should amaze me. But it doesn't.
Why not? Because here it is: People absolutely can and do often succeed at cashing in on life in a BIG WAY by utilizing the cheaper, more expendable distortion of TGR.
