What climate change, coronavirus and other issues make clear is this: humanity will not thrive in the 21st-century unless we evolve beyond a “me first” or “me only” mentality. We need to shift economically, politically, and socially from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line.

The Golden Rule doesn’t mean “Do under others as you would have others do unto you” because they just might. “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” because they definitely will, and even if they don’t then someone else will. You become generous out of self-interest

“If as individuals we ask ourselves what does it mean to be good? What does it mean to be loving? Am I doing the right thing? Am I being compassionate? What is the path before me that love would have me walk? We must ask this individually & we must ask this as a nation.”

I thought the golden rule is I must buy essential oils only from authorized independent agents.

It then comes full circle!! With my healthy self-interest comes a healthy self-interest in and for others. #NotMeUs

Then how can you endorse a candidate who was actually quoted as saying "I don't believe in charities", espouses everyone relying on the Fed Gov't for "generosity", and seeks to separate the most generous people in the country from the wealth they contribute?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You're exactly right.

When you expand the sphere of self, which is the pattern of human developmental unfolding, then self interest includes everyone by default.

What climate change and *especially* this coronavirus make clear to me is that we are all much more closely connected than we realize. I've been thinking that this thing with the virus is a call for humanity to recognize its essential oneness - get that and you get all the rest.
