Everyone has heard of The Golden Rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. It is what we learn at a young age and is supposedly a common value in life. Yet it is something often forgotten. This essay really made me think of kindergarten. I went to a jewish elementary school so we learned values from the Torah at a very young age. I remember the first thing I learned in kindergarten was The Golden Rule. It was a motif throughout the rest of elementary school, yet I don't often hear it anymore. It is something that is expected, yet never emphasized. Is it possible that as we get older we lose the meaning of The Golden Rule? Could it be that The Golden Rule is almost a childish value? If The Golden Rule is supposedly expected from everyone, then why is it so often forgotten?
