But if you only had to pick one, just one key thing that you could demand from all the people around you, what would it be? I don't demand anything from anyone... 
However,i would like to live in a world where people ask direct questions instead of assuming.

Honesty is very important but those who say things in the guise of being honest but are tactless, cruel, scarcastic, and use their honesty as a knife to slaughter others don't sound very honest to me and in reality rarely are except technically.

We all have personal values and social priorities, the things we enjoy in and need from other people ie. loyalty, honesty, generosity But if you only had to pick one, just one key thing that you could demand from all the people around you, what would it be? BJ. (Please let me know if this is offensive. I thought it was a hoot, just rolling on the floor LOL. If someone, or anyone, tells me it's offensive, I apologize and I'll take this post off instantly.) |

compassion -without it - you're not human in my book Careful! Vorsichtig! Because this can happen (according to your definition and credo): You meet an impassionate person who lacks compassion. You don't have compassion for him. So you become non-human yourself. ============== Be careful and don't mix in the company of impassionate people. You may lose your soul if you do. However: To know who is compassionate and who is not, you must first mix with them to learn this about them. Therefore you are doomed. ==================== Unless you are lucky and never get mixed with impassionate people. |

For a second I thought I was in the "science and philosopy" forum. I beg you a thousand pardons. I'll be more careful next time and wake up and orient myself before I leave posts. |

Heck, it looks like I could demand a high initial salary at any firm as a "conversation stopper".
Some companies hire people like me, whose job is to break up the party at the water cooler. |

corny, but Id demand we all follow the golden rule ' treat others AT least as well as you WANT(not expect) to be treated (if not better)' Not corny at all. There is a reason it is called the Golden Rule. If everyone followed it then all the other qualities would also be a part of their behavior as well.

Imagine you show up at an ice-cream vendor with your three year old and so do I with mine. The vendor says he has got one cone of Hagen-daazs left. The wrapped kind. And he has no more ice cream. My kid wants an ice cream and so does yours. I want to treat this lady as well as she treats me. I want to treat her to have the ice cream for her kid. She prescirbes to the "golden rule" as well. She wants my kid to have the ice cream. Who will have the ice cream? Who is treating the other better? Is it better to have one screaming kid and one happy kid, the happy having got the ice cream, OR is it better to have two screaming kids because neither got the ice cream? If the other lady and I decide that one screaming kid is way better than two screaming kids, whose kid will have the ice cream? ---------- The Golden Rule works in America, much like many other things that don't work elsewhere because America is rich in resources. Here, no kid has to go without an ice cream, and people could afford to live by the Golden Rule if they so agreed and kept to their promise. In many, almost all other parts of the world, living by the Golden Rule would give people a dilemma like the one above. Sometimes it's over luxuries, like in the case above, but sometimes it's over necessities, sometimes it's over life and death for your child. So... yes, the Golden Rule is liveable, is possible, but not everywhere in the world. |
