do unto others

Do you respond to people the way they respond to you? Yet I have called you to a higher standard. For my word says that even the heathen are good to those who are good to them, and teaches you to love even those who are mean to you that you may be the children of your Father in heaven who loves all. If you treat people the way they treat you it requires that you judge them. This is inherently wrong even before you proceed to let their behavior determine yours, which forfeits your own moral agency. You do not walk in liberty unless you act unilaterally, choosing from within to do good to others regardless of what they do to you.
