DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU

(‘unto’ means ‘to’)

“Do to others what you expect others to do to you” is what the topic tries to explain to you. There are two decision makers in the human body. One is the mind and the other is the heart. A human needs to learn how to balance these two decision makers. Mind cares about it alone whereas heart cares about others too, that is why, mind-made decisions favor the person alone but heart-made decisions favor the entire society.

If mind is law then heart is justice. Law and justice do not join hands at all times. Heart alone is capable of treating others as itself whereas mind lacks this capability. A human would never go wrong if he does to others what he expects them to do to him. In recent times, mind aims at earning money and heart aims at earning humans.

In short, for a good human, life is a chessboard where the players play each and every move, assuming that as if they play on the other side of the table. Like chess players, humans too before handling each and every situation, need to assume as if they are on the other side of the situation. This way of approach to situations will never let a human down.

Life is a chess game where the King is the Heart and the Queen is the mind. As how the king and the queen struggle to win the game of chess, the heart and the mind join hands to win the game of life. Though in chess, we struggle to save both the king and the queen, at times, there comes a situation where you need to lose the queen in order to save the king. In the same way, there is nothing wrong in losing the interest of mind to gain the interest of heart.

In short, at some stages of life, we need to let us down for the welfare of others. Doing this to others also teaches them that they need to do the same to you when the situation turns upside down.

When helping others, always have the feel that you are helping yourself, because a help is just like a deposit made at a bank, a day or the other it returns to you with interest. The more you help others, the more helping hands you get. Always remember that the most difficult thing to earn in our life is nothing but the humans. The person with more persons to help him is the richest man in the world.

A person who takes wholly mind-made decision is a greedy person and a person who takes wholly heart-made decision is a gem but will be used as a fool by the society. Then what kind of decision makes a man perfect? It is a decision that could balance the mind and the heart of a human. 65% of humans are greedy, 30% of humans are perfect and 5% of humans are fools. The essay ends with a question to you all “What kind of person you are?”
