THE GOLDEN RULE, do you believe in applying it to your cattle deals? And if not do you sleep well at night?

I believe it may be the origin of or relates to the true meaning of what our forefathers had reference to when they came up with the idea of what is referred to as a HAND SHAKE CATTLE DEAL. Have you applied it to your cattle deals? If not, I challenge you to give it a try; it has worked for many others.

The golden rule is endorsed in most all regions of the world. And for many centuries the idea has been influential among people of very diverse cultures. These facts suggest that the golden rule may be an important moral truth.

The golden rule is best interpreted as saying: Treat others only in ways that you are willing to be treated in the same exact situation. To apply it, you should imagine yourself in the exact place of the other person on the receiving end of the action. If you act in a given way toward another, and yet are unwilling to be treated that way in the same circumstances, then you violate the rule.

To apply the golden rule adequately, we need knowledge and imagination. We need to know what effect our actions have on the lives of others. And we need to be able to imagine ourselves, vividly and accurately, in the other person's place on the receiving end of the action. With knowledge, imagination, and the golden rule, we can progress far in our moral thinking.

The golden rule is best seen as a consistency principle. It does not replace regular moral norms. It is not an infallible guide on which actions are right or wrong; it does not give all the answers. It only prescribes consistency that we not have our actions (toward another) be out of harmony with our desires (toward a reversed situation action). It tests our moral coherence. If we violate the golden rule, then we are violating the spirit of fairness and concern that lie at the heart of morality.
