The Golden rule of God's words starts with each individual and in there hearts. This is such a truthful and powerful message that many will understand and many wont.

Comment from Curly Girly
A thought provoking piece. Yes, if only we all did unto others as we would have them do unto us, then the world would be a better place. If I read Revelation, I begin to understand that world peace is never going to happen, well not before Armageddon; and after it, it's going to be a very different world.

Comment from gypsycaravan
I love the analogy of gold being indestructible that you've used. You are right. The Golden Rule is really a religion of and by itself and all that is really needed to make it through the Pearly gates. Yes, it would be a perfect world if world leaders and cults would practice the rule. Ever wonder why God gave us free will? Ha. Your piece was well-written and formulated. Thanks for posting.

Comment from 9999pool
A truly great message and story in the Golden Rule and how gold can be purified and retain its shine through the ages of mankind. We must hold dear to this golden rule and never forget that we are humans and not animals.
The meaning of gold had been explained well and befitting the message that the glitter in gold carried to all of us under God's design and grace. Smiles.
Excellent write and well expressed. Bravo! Well done!
Have a fantastic golden and memorable weekend, :)).
Cheerio, hugs and love, Ritchie. :))

Comment from Spitfire
What makes this a good read is the connection between the properties of gold and how it applies to the human race. I do think the first line could be expanded upon for a better transition into the meat of the essay.

Comment from adewpearl
pink gold, however - I would make that a semicolon
A most thoughtful discussion on the Golden Rule
Sadly, many world leaders do not think in these terms, which is why peace remains so elusive

I agree, peace is so elusive, we have to do our part, one person at a time. Thank you Brooke for this fine review. :-) Carolyn
Comment from The Death
Hi, Carolyn.
This is an interesting write where you focus on how Golden Rule can be applied in our lives to attain individual as well as world peace.
I do follow the rule in my life, and it does work. However, some people can't be changed and their attitude remains as such.
The lower rating is due to issues related to punctuation, and tightening of a few sentences.
Notes:
# Sometimes(,) the world uses the beautiful 'Golden Rule' of Matthew 7:12 in ways that the Lord did not intend.
# He said, "whatsoever you want men to do to you, do also to them"..
Drop a period. You've used two, which isn't meaningful.
# I find it so very interesting, that we have used a precious metal, to represent that particular passage. And fittingly so.
You don't need to have those commas. I would suggest using only one, before 'and', to make it optimal.
# Gold can be beaten into any shape, it can be ran over by a train, it can go through fire, be melted and poured into a mold , it can withstand ocean depths and salt water, yet will not tarnish,it will always retain its shine.
The above sentence is a run-on, which disturbs the pacing of the write. You should break it into two or more sentences.
Consider:
Gold can be beaten into any shape. It can be ran over by a train, it can go through fire, be melted and poured into a mold. It can also withstand ocean depths and salt water, yet will not tarnish--it will always retain its shine.
# When alloys and other metals are added, we may have white gold, green gold, even pink gold, however, once again, if it goes through fire all those 'additives' are burned away (refined) if you will, and pure gold is left. As pure as when it started.
Same problem as above. You'be unnecessarily dragged the sentence, when it could have been more impacting using distinct sentences and use of dash.
Suggestion:
When alloys and other metals are added, we may have white gold, green gold, even pink gold. However, once again, if it goes through fire, all those 'additives' are burned away (refined) if you will, and pure gold is left--as pure as when it started.
I like the concluding thoughts. Will be happy to upgrade once you edit this.
Love n Light,
Death

How rightfully do as you stated in your notes for flight M17. Shameful, cowardly act and someone will never pay.
You story, essay was well written and well stated Carolyn.
