I prefer my version:
Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you!
Moving on...
I have loads of catching up to do. Just mentioning this because there's a few great posts here (one or two in direct response to me) and that I'd like to respond to. Point is: I'm not ignoring anybody nor have I simply abandoned the topic. This just simply not a topic to just jump in on and post without careful thought and without being interrupted by all sorts of other shit that's going on (which has been the case for the last two or three days unfortunately). In the meantime though: keep going. Some really great posts and insights being shared and being debated real nice and rationally thus far (makes for a refreshing change to say the least) (compare this to CEPS, which I've also fallen behind on, and you'll see what I mean!

Some serious disconnect from reality going on there for sure and one or two over there in serious need of my help an guidance!

).
Even though I have jokingly said the same thing...do unto others before they do unto you...I've lived my life trying to help others when I could, especially those less fortunate than me. IDK if this has been mentioned in this discussion, but I believe in karma, and have seen it occur repeatedly. I'll explain.
A few years ago I had a (legitimate, legal) business in which I handled a great quantity of cash each week. A "friend" set me up for a home invasion type robbery in which I was tied hands and feet, bag over my head, and had the shit kicked out of me until I relented. I also had a gun put to my head, and since two acquaintances of mine had been robbed and killed that same year in such a manner, I truly thought I was going die. I compare this to torture, and, not meaning to offend anyone, I'll even go so far as to say, a type of rape. I was left with a whopping case of PTSD that only therapy helped to lessen. (A gun in my belt helped, too).
My point? I believe that karma was being repaid, by me being left alive. I had several offers to have my so called friend "taken care of", for free, no connection to me...and I said please don't.
A few years later I found out that two of the bastards that robbed me had been served a horrible fate that I believe was...karma.
I also believe that if a person that rapes a child is raped and/or tortured by other prison inmates, well, that's karma.
This may seem to some people to be just nonsensical spiritual beliefs, but I'm lucky enough to have known my great grandfather, and to know my great grandson. Karma?
Peace.
