When in Doubt, PauseApril 5th is almost here. It is the designated date to celebrate and put into practice the Golden Rule. Whether you follow the Confucian version of the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you,” or the more direct message from the sage Hillel, “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor,” or the contemporary version now called GoldenRuleism, "Do for all others, both directly and indirectly, what you would want done for you. Don't do to any others, either directly or indirectly, what you wouldn't want done to you." The messages are clear, but what’s our problem with not heeding them? Are we selfish? Do we have trouble seeing beyond our own face?...
