"This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people."--CS Lewis from The Case for ChristianityDo unto others...what a novel concept. This is such a simple life idea, yet failure to implement it begins a chain reaction of selfish and damaging behaviour that takes God himself to bring to an end. Why don't we or more importantly, why don't I practice this idea more in my everyday life. From opening a door, to letting someone into the lane in font of you, to smiling at your wife. I want others to treat me well right? I want to be treated fairly, with respect, with honesty, lovingly, and I mostly wish that people would think before they do things. Well, as is true with most things in life, the things we want from others, starts with us.
