The Principle to Live By

Considering all of the diversity that exists in society today, it seems quite hard to pick a single principle to live by. Yet, I have chosen to pick the principle of treat others as you would treat yourself. Although, at first it might seem as a bit of a cliche, most of the most efficient and reasonable principles are found to be cliches since they can be part of our everyday life. And so, the reason why I have decided to choose the following way of life is because it can easily cover every aspect of living. What I mean by this idea is that it can mean to love each other, respect each other, take care of each other, and so on as we would for ourselves. If together, as a society, can learn to treat each other with dignity and respect, much of the tensions and struggles that are faced could be dissolved. To also contribute with this principle, showing compassion and patience with others could lessen the stress and tensions among family, friends, a community and even a nation.
