"treat others as you would want to be treated".
[/quote]
not everyone wants to be treated the same as you</p>
<p>the quote needs "when in complete doubt" to be added in front of it</p>
<p>did you apologize yet??</p>
<p>Nah. I like, "treat others way better than you'd expect to be treated." Or something.</p>
<p>"better" doesn't have a rigorous definition. it wouldn't work in this specific situation because he doesn't know what's "better" for the girl. when in complete doubt the most reliable comparison is to yourself because you know what you want, which is usually how other people want to be treated too.</p>
<p>besides, if we do things your way there will be an infinite recursion of treating people better and one day SOMEONE will run out of ideas and the whole system will collapse. people will die.</p>
