I wrote the below post somewhere around 7pm last night, but I somehow forgot to post it....
Day 38:
There is an old saying that one should never discuss religion, politics, or sex in polite company.
This of course means that today I broke from the ranks.
I had a conversation with a co-worker friend today about the different world religions (sorry to disappoint by it not being about sex). We come from different cultural (including religious) backgrounds, so it was pretty cool that we were able to have this extremely open, comparative conversation.
And as with almost any informal religious talk, the Golden Rule came up. I think the “treat others the way you’d like to be treated” rule is deemed golden because so many religions promote it. Or maybe it got the title from a specific religion. Or maybe, and perhaps more likely, this rule’s label comes from an Americanized marketing effort.
Regardless of how it got its name, today I learned that I could do a better job at giving gold…
