to expect people to extend the Golden Rule very far expect people to practice the Golden Rule more often in their behaviour Explanation: "It is impossible to expect people to extend the Golden Rule very far if they are unmoored, unanchored, and insecure themselves" => what one person can do is not to make other people apply the Golden rule, but to "extend the Golden Rule very far" by applying it themselves to more people, ideally to all other people. Insecure people tend to see danger everywhere, and see other other people as threat. People sure of themselves are more prone to apply this "Golden rule" to everyone. IOW I think that here the "extending" is to be done by one person applying this "Golden rule" to more people that just a very limited circle, or even to no one. |

extend the golden rule very far get more and more people to practise the Golden Rule Explanation: because otherwise, we'll be “the first self-endangered species,” so more people need to “Do unto others as you would wish they would do unto you" i.e treat other people well, as they would wish to be treated themselves -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2019-02-11 11:31:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- First we need strong families, so people feel cherished, but we also need to extend that feeling into building strong commuities and to do this means treating others, who may be "distant" (i.e. not related to us in any way) as "your brother or your sister". Thus more and more people will feel anchored within the community. No one will be "distant" or cut off from the strong community in which they live. So yes, I think the scaling/extending is to do with more and more people treating others as themselves (thus expanding and strengthening the community). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 14 hrs (2019-02-12 23:59:03 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped |
