  • If you don't want it, refrain from applying it to others. (己所不欲勿施于人)

And since this article seems short, let's have something extra for you to read. One shall write it in two languages, English and Chinese. Note these are ordered randomly depending on what comes to my mind. Feel free to reorder them to show which are more important and which aren't. Scroll down for your preferred language. Thanks!


I am willing to

I am willing to trust someone, even if trusting someone might lead to hurt, betrayal, and dependent.

I am willing to share, to someone trusting, even if sharing they might use the information one shared against myself.

I am willing to accompany, even if accompanying someone one might be influenced by someone's thought, even if accompanying someone one need to compromise what freedom one holds.

I am willing to teach, via one own's behavior, speaking, and thoughts, one's teachings and beliefs, even if others think that one is stupid and it's anti-social, even if others are not willing to learn what one teaches, even if others don't agree with oneself on one's teaching. It doesn't matter.

I am willing to be available, to my closest of the closest friends, and to my future friends whom wish to strengthen and create a better and stronger friendship with oneself, that I'm always there for them, and hopefully, they're also there for me, even if it's not all the time.

I am willing to face the truth, with immense courage and concurrently, fear, the problems that we faced in our relationship; for if we know we can solve problems together, to gain empathy of each other, more than just understanding each other, to put ourselves in each others' shoes, we can solve any kinds of problems. And we know, if we encounter ever stronger waves in our way to better relationship, we can also solve them.

I am willing to bare my necks, laying bare our bottom lines, our expectations for each other. Even if not, I am willing to forgive, the closer friendships, even if they surpass my bottom lines. I am willing to let them know, that their existence in my life comes more important than myself, that even if they surpass my bottom line, they are allowed a second chance after they let known what had happened, and promise not to repeat again.

I am willing to apologize, that if one makes a mistakes; shall one put down one's face and pride, against great pressure, with great courage, to apologize for the mistakes one've made. Self-pride and face is not as important as the hurt they feel, and our friendship.

I am willing to forgive, those that shows in my eyes, that acts with integrity, those that apologize, for what mistakes they'd made, and give them a chance to explain themselves that they're not manipulator nor psychopaths, not narcissistic nor lacking in emotions. For those willing to learn their mistakes, carves it deep into their behavior that they'd trigger if they're doing it again, and make the effort to change. Shall one forgive their mistakes: because forgiving makes our lives much more happier than without. That revenge brings harm. That, it's better to gain some extra compensation from their side than to bring revenge, and that it makes us both happy, be in a better place, after that. Forgive, but not forget.

I am willing to believe, that there are people in this world whom care about me, that are willing to believe in me, and that we could share our problems, our thoughts, our emotions, to bare each other neck to each other; that manipulators and psychopaths are not the majority. I am willing to believe, that however people refrain from speaking emotions, with whatever reasons and seeing it as a weakness, that people still urge to have someone by their side to share each other, to be with each other.

And I wish, my dear readers, if you are to be my friend, you're willing to trust, to share, to accompany, to teach, to be available, to face the truth, to bare your necks, to let me know, to apologize, and to forgive; to give me a chance, if I did something wrong, to compensate you in any reasonable way, for the hurt that one inflicted on you in the past. Shall we lead a better friendship towards a closer friendship in the future.

(These might not cover everything, but at least they reflect quite a lot of things).

Hm? Can you explain what "It's about having the wrong thoughts and doing the right things" means? Can you give me an example? How can you do the right things if you don't think right?

Oh hi, thanks for visiting. In my understanding, "thoughts" here refers to "the random thoughts that arises from your feelings/emotions". It's more emotional than logical. So when you mean "how to do the right things if we can't think right", the assumption is "thoughts" is something logical and arises based on our will; while the thoughts here arises aren't in your control, controlled by your emotions.

So, say one have a strong desire to control other people. The feelings give rise to the thoughts of controlling other people. But people aren't our puppet, and they aren't in our control, so the "thought of controlling people" is "wrong", and what we should do instead, that seems "right" in the eyes of the society, is not trying to control (i.e. manipulate) other people. Similarly, say someone is on the verge of bankrupt. He/she may have thoughts of getting money via illegal means, perhaps stealing, robbing, or etc. The thoughts is uncontrollable, it just surfaces out of nowhere. And it's "wrong". Just because the thoughts want us to do this, and we resist from following it and choose a "right" path... Do I explain it clearly enough?

By the way, the quote was taken from the book "The 6 Secrets of a Lasting Relationship", if you read the "Trust" chapter you might understand what the book is trying to mean; while the explanation above is just one's understanding. :) Thanks for asking.
