Do Unto Yourself

...so perhaps it makes sense to apply a variation of the Golden Rule: “Do unto ourselves as we would have others do unto us.” ~ Anonymous. Today's Gift: Daily Meditations for Families (Hazelden Meditation Series) (Kindle Locations 659-660).
Love others as you love yourself...
fine advice for normies...folk
who have no need for a twelve-step program...
assuming such exist.
But if addiction and resentments,
fears and falsehoods
have left you hating yourself
you're left with the firm conviction
if you treated others the same way you treat yourself
you'd be unpopular at the least,
criminally liable if it were carried
to the logical conclusion.
So perhaps it makes sense to
apply a variation of the Golden Rule:
“Do unto ourselves as we would have others do unto us."
