GOLDEN RULE-HOW ABOUT THE PLATINUM RULE?

I might be thinking about our three wars.

I might be thinking about nothing at all

I MIGHT BE DIVERTING TO LOW HUMOR

OR

PERHAPS THERE IS SOMETHING HEREIN

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

THE GOLDEN RULE

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
presumes that others enjoy what you enjoy. But that's wrong.
There are many things you'd like to have done unto you that others would either despise or be bored by. Here's a new, improved formulation, which we call the Platinum Rule:
Do unto others as they would like to have you do unto them.
