Doublestandardness?

[lutra]

Youz?

[Parts]

Yez because it's okay when I do it

[Queen Victoria]

Of course.  I think it's part of animal nature. 

[odeon]

What parts said. Except that he is wrong, of course.

[Pyraxis]

You're all wrong!

And right in your own ways.

[odeon]

My way is the right one but I think yours is too.

Sorry, too vague a thread start..

Wellz.. this thread was my half-baked attempt to start a thread about something I hate quite a bit. Yes yes, I'm probably not all the way free from doublestandardness myself.. and here and there I might 'judge' something s/o else doing negativity.. whilst yeah, properly looking at myself.. I do/did the p/m same thing too.

Old girlfriend, talking about this, said to me once.. That when you point your finger towards the other.. there are usually three fingers (of own hand) pointing back at you. Might be a christian symbolism or reference for she was.. (duh)
 
Animal nature? Was about to write that it's probably more human nature (than animal nature in general but.. ) but yeah, animals also do to others what they wish not to be done to themselves.

Um, that's one adage, i.e. 'Don't do to others what you wish not to be done to yourself'..  that seems to be totally forgotten nowadays. Thought Confucius said that.. a long time ago.. and maybe a tadski naive.

Yup that is the "Golden Rule". "Do unto others" is the Chritian equivalent. Same moral preaching different century. It is a funny one. Even though many Christians will take great pains to defend this preaching as Chrisian and so on, they don't seem to like ytou saying "Hey i think it is a great idea and very moral but not particularly Christian, it has been arouund for a while", they get annoyed.

I never liked that saying "Do unto others". What if you responded indifferently when they did it to you?

It would only make sense if for example, you make jokes about people yet you can't take a joke. However I often take the piss out of people, and I don't mind if they take the piss out of me.

Unless I'm being spookaney about this, please enlighten me.

I claim my right to have double standards, when it comes to my kids.
When they say it isn't fair, I tell them they would not like fair.

Because then one of them should eat gherkins, and the other peanut-butter.

Different people, different things.

The "do not unto others....." I've always taken wider than the direct meaning. I don't want to be hurt, or disrespected, I want to be treated right for me. So, I try to do similar to others, and, that absolutely is something different than interacting with them the way it would be ideal for me. If I treated people the way I would love to be treated in social things, lots of them would think I treated them awful. So, some people, that I do like, I treat with proverbial gloves. Others, I don't have to keep myself back with at all.

This.

Other people do not like to be ignored or barely spoken to but if I could get away with doing this, I would!

Not true IMO. When I use my index finger to point it is the only finger pointing. The others are inert and out of the way. Having the others out of the way is what emphasizes the fact that the index finger is pointing.

  Your other fingers are inert because they are lazy slackers.
