Words won't Work

Can you cite a specific example on how the golden rule applies in real life? Recall an experience in your life in which you reaped what you sowed. The first thing that pops up to mind is the flooding during typhoon season. People have a habit of improper disposal of their garbage and waste. They dump it in rivers, sewer systems, and basically anywhere they want to. As time goes by, the garbage clumps up and blocks the sewer systems. When the rain comes, excess water that can’t flow through the sewers floods neighborhoods and along with it are all kinds of trash and garbage. People suffer every time but they do it every time.

Accepting one’s self. Knowing one’s purpose and true self. There is a lot of people in the world with different personalities and desires so the concept of self-actualization varies from person to person. And I want to share what I think it means for me.   I did some readings about this topic to have more knowledge about it and be able to describe my idea of what self-actualization is. I’ve read that self-actualized people are true to themselves. I think that these people are not afraid to feel what they want and be whoever they want to be. I’ve watched a lot of movies and series, listened to more than a thousand songs, and browsed the internet. This idea is everywhere and has existed for a very long time. But based on what I see and experience everyday, only few have the courage to be themsel
