Excerpt
“As a man traversing the whole earth, Finds not anywhere an object more loveable than himself; Therefore, since the self is so universally loved by all, The man who loves himself so much, Should do no injury to others.”

Today, before answering someone, ask yourself how you would like to be spoken to, and speak to them in that way.
