WHILE advances in science and technology may substantially change the way we live our daily life, the need for human relationships and interactions basically remains the same. The profound “golden rules” of yesteryear are as relevant and effective today as they were before. Let us revisit some of these rules.
The first is the “rule of reciprocity” which says “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. This should be adopted by every society. You would not want a neighbour to park his car in front of your gate, so do not park yours in front of his gate. You would want someone to help you when you have a flat tyre on the road, so help someone in need. You would not want to be hit by a reckless driver, so do not drive recklessly. You would not want to breathe in second-hand smoke, so do not pollute someone else’s air. The list goes on.
