Well, hello and welcome to anotherepisode of the Mark Medley Show. Thank
you for the love, Thank youfor the love. Always appreciative of the
(00:56):
handclaps and of the applause. Thisis another episode of the Mark Medley Show,
and today's episode is going to bedealing with the principle of the Golden
Rule. As a matter of fact, the title of this episode is why
I believe so deeply in the GoldenRule. Now, for those of you
(01:22):
who may or may not be familiarwith the Golden Rule, I'm going to
paraphrase it. I'm not going toread exactly as it would read in the
Bible or any of our other spiritualbooks. Because across all spiritual practices,
regardless of its Christian, Jewish,Buddha, whatever whichever one Muslim you name
(01:42):
it, the Golden Rule is acommon thread or a common principle, regardless
of which one of the books youread, whether it's the Koran, whether
it's the Torah, whether it's theBible, whether whatever one you read,
the Golden Rule is in there.So you may be saying, Mark,
(02:05):
what is the Golden Rule? I'venever really heard of it called that.
Well, simply, the Golden Ruleis treat other people the way that you
would want to be treated. Anotherway of saying is if you wouldn't want
somebody to do that to you,don't you do that or whatever that is
(02:25):
to someone else. I am alwaysflatbergasted and amazed how many of my students,
because you all know, if you'vebeen listening to the show any amount
of time whatsoever, that whenever I'mnot hosting my radio show or either recording
an episode of the podcast, Iam a school principal, and I've been
(02:46):
a school principal since two thousand andfive, and I cannot tell you how
many times I've had students in myoffice because they've done something to their fellow
classmate. And the question I wouldask, or I do ask, is
would you like or would you haveliked for him or her to do what
(03:07):
you did to him or her toyou? And inevitably the answer is ninety
nine point nine percent of the timeNo. I don't think I've ever heard
a child tell me, yes,I would want that other person to do
what I did to them to me. That's what the Golden rule is saying.
The Golden rule is saying is ifyou don't want that done to you,
(03:31):
then don't do it to someone else. And as I just said,
most of the time, when Iget a student in my office or two
students in my office and I askthem that question, they're straight up they
tell me, no, I wouldn'twant the other person to do that to
me, yet they had no problemdoing it to somebody else. Now the
(03:52):
golden rule, I firmly and stronglybelieve in that, because I do my
best to live that I don't wantto do to anyone else what I would
not want someone to do to me. If I wouldn't want things inflicted upon
me, then I try to thinkin terms of then I won't inflict that
upon anyone else. Now, I'vebeen in situations what I've dealt with people
(04:16):
that I know for a fact whatthey did for me or to me,
they would not want done to them. I've been in a situation, matter
of fact, two years ago July, and many of you, if you've
listened to the show, you've noticedI've referenced July of twenty twenty one a
lot, because in July of twentytwenty one, a person did something to
me that I know if I haddone to him or her what he or
(04:39):
she did to me. They wouldn'thave liked it. They would have lost
their mind. And yet it seemedlike, for whatever reason, that he
or she had no problem doing whathe or she did to me. And
like I said, if the tableswere turned, oh, it would be
a whole different story. It wouldbe a whole bunch of questions, why
did you do that? How dareyou do that to me? So forth
(05:01):
and so on. Yet again,when the push came to shove, that
person had no problem whatsoever doing whathe or she did to me. What
you're probably asking, what to youdo? They destroyed a family heirloom.
They were a part of destroying afamily heirloom that was over fifty years old.
(05:25):
And I know for a fact,had I destroyed some property of that
person, it would have been awhole different sing song. And see,
I'm just using that as a personalexample because as we begin to look locally
and nationally and globally, and I'mstudying leadership right now. Yet again,
this is my second or third time, if not more, studying this thing
(05:48):
called leadership. And we have folksin leadership at the world, at the
national and at the local levels thathave done things and who are doing things
the people that I know, ifit was done to them, they would
(06:09):
be crying foul. If we lookglobally, and again when we start talking
about Vladimir Putin, we know howit is over there in terms of information.
We never know what's true and what'snot true. We never know what's
propaganda and what's not propaganda. Sosomehow a rumor or word or falsity went
(06:29):
out that Vladimir Putin was ill,was near death. The same thing went
out a few years ago about KimJong yung. However he says his name
over there in South Korea or NorthKorea, whichever one it is, the
same thing kind of went out afew years ago about him. A couple
years ago about him that turned outI guess not to be true, or
at least he came or he overcameit, I don't know which. But
now we have that kind of samesort of thing against mister Putin. My
(06:55):
point in sharing that is that I'mconcerned about his health is more so the
things that he's done to other people. The atrocities and the murder and the
crimes and the war and this thatand the other that he's done to other
people at some point, one wayor the other is going to come back
on him, because for a fact, I'm quite sure, and maybe he
(07:15):
would like I don't know, butI'm quite sure he would not like anyone
to do to his family or tohim what he's done to other people and
other families. Now we come hereto the United States and our former president,
our forty fifth president, he wouldhave been better in all honesty,
because this is one of those caseswhere he got to the highest office,
(07:36):
and the highest office is what nowis going to bring him down? You
know, sometime and again I'm notgonna go super spiritual on you. I'm
not gonna go super religious on you, but sometimes God puts us at the
highest level, at the highest point, to be brought down. When Donald
J. Trump was just Donald J. Trump, he was doing what he
was doing. He was doing thateven during the time when he was just
(08:00):
plane old developer, plain old realestate agent, this, that and the
other. He's been doing that foryears. But see now when he did
the same behavior that he'd been doingas a real estate developer as wherever he
was as a businessman, he nowdid the same thing as president of the
United States, and now he's gottencaught up with it. And he had
a whole bunch of folks with himthat has gotten caught up with it,
(08:20):
and now all of them, mostof them are turning on him. Most
of them are singing like birds.As a matter of fact, we could
put them all together and have achoir. They are singing on him and
turning on him in droves, alot of these serv There's a book written,
Everything Trump Touches Dies. I've readthe book. It's a wonderful book.
(08:43):
But it's coming to pass because everythingand everybody that's got involved with Trump,
either themselves or their careers, ortheir reputations or their character has now
been shot down, has now beenkilled. I mean, you had folks
like Rudy Giuliani, I mean,for the most part now considered for the
(09:03):
most part, now nothing. Imean, just reputation, character gone.
You had all these other folks thatwere in politics that associated with Trump and
was a part of his mess.And now he has become a part of
their mess, or they have becomea part of it, and they're singing
and they're turning. Because the bottomline is Trump is going to fight this
all the way. He is he'sgotten us. Because Trump is Trump,
(09:24):
He's gonna fight it all over.But the truth of the matter is he's
going down, and all the restof them know that. That's why they
are jumping off that ship before ittotally sinks to the bottom. They are
trying to save their posteriors, they'retrying to save their backsides. They're doing
whatever is necessary for their time tobe lessened if they have to serve any
at all, because they're making deals. They're cutting deals so that whatever years
(09:46):
and maybe some years can get shavedoff of what it is that they have
done if they turn now evidence againstthe big fish, the one who they
really want. So this is anotherexample of what you've done to others now
is being done to you. Thedirt and how dirty you've treated people over
(10:07):
the years is now turning back onyou. Some of us call that karma.
Some say it's karma. Some says, you know, what goes around
comes around, yo. It willnot come around in the time that we
want, or folks will be dealtwith, maybe in the time that we
want, but eventually, at somepoint along the way, the dirt that
you've done to somebody else is goingto come back on you. Now it
(10:28):
may not come back in the sameway. The dirt that you did to
somebody else may not come back toyou in that same way. Like I
said, that person that destroyed myfamily heirloom, maybe a family heirloom of
his or hers won't be destroyed,but something else will happen. Who knows.
See, you just never know whatyou do to people that might come
(10:48):
back on you, and it won'tcome back in you. Like I said,
in some instances, it won't comeback immediately, but somewhere along the
way it's going to catch you up. On our local level, we have
counsel people have been accused now ofall kinds of craziness with election fraud and
fighting and council meetings and all kindsof crazines that once again, you know
(11:09):
good and well, if someone wereto turn around and do that to them,
they would not want it done tothem. So when we start dealing
with the golden rule, the goldenrule is saying, if you don't want
it done to you, don't youin turn do it to somebody else.
In otherwise, we got to takea pause, We got to think for
a minute before I do that tohim or to her. Would I want
(11:31):
him or her to do that tome or anyone for that matter. So
I am a firm, passionate believerin the golden rule. Do unto others
as you would like done unto you, Don't do unto others as you don't
want done unto you. If youwouldn't want it done to you, then
(11:52):
don't do it to somebody else.It's very simple to me, I mean
one of that's one of the simplerrule rules. To kind of give some
thought to that. I wouldn't wantthat to happen to me. I wouldn't
want that to happen to my familymember. I wouldn't want that to happen
to my mom. I wouldn't wantthat to happen to my daughter. I
wouldn't want that to happen to myson. I wouldn't want that to happen
(12:15):
to my grandson or my granddaughter,or my niece or my nephew or what
have you. Yet, folks haveabsolutely no regard for life, have no
regard for anybody else's emotions or theirfeelings, have no regard for that whatsoever.
I do a lot of work withmy students in terms of trying my
(12:37):
best to keep them out of thecemetery or out of jail. And a
young man who I knew as ayoung child as like three, four,
five, six, seven, eightyears old, he's twenty nine now and
I just learned that he's now goingto jail for a murder where he literally
shot somebody in the head and theperson died. And now this young man
(13:00):
at twenty nine is looking at thirtyyears to life, no regard for someone
else's life. This was a childthat I know and knew and tried to
counsel as well, who decided hewanted to do his own thing, and
more than one time. This isnot the first time he ran into trouble
with the law, but this isgonna be his last time because with this
(13:22):
one, the shooting of someone andkilling them and weapons charges and the fact
that you're in ex con and youhad other records that he gonna be in
there this time for the rest ofhis days. But you got to think
again, would you have wanted someonebecause that man that he killed was someone's
child, that man that he killedwas someone's father, Would you have wanted
(13:43):
that to occur in your family?This same child that committed that murder.
I know for a fact would nothave wanted that done to him, nor
anyone in his family. And yethe had no problem now taking the life
of someone else. And now hislife is going to be gone because he's
doing thirty to life in prison himself. This is so simple, folks,
(14:05):
I do not get it. Thisis just one of those things that just
gets beyond me in terms of howdo you do something to someone that you
know for a fact that if someonedid whatever that was to you, you
would not like it, You wouldnot want it done to you. You
would lose your mind and flip outand get angry and emotional and everything else.
(14:28):
Yet when you did it to somebodyelse, it didn't bother you.
To be honest with you, Idon't know how some of these folks sleep
at night. I don't know howDonald Trump goes to sleep at night.
I really don't with all those chargesagainst him, I don't know I sleep
with this kid that I was justdescribing. I don't know how he's going
to be sleeping now for the nextthirty years to life. Knowing that he
took the life of somebody else,it probably doesn't bother m. I don't
(14:50):
know how the person who destroyed myfamily heirloom, who destroyed a piece of
furniture, a piece that I hadfor over fifty years. I don't know
how that person had or is sleepingat night. Because see, there are
certain things that if I were todo to people, it would bother me.
There's certain things if I were tocommit that particular act against another person,
(15:11):
knowing how that would make that personfeel, that would bother me.
That's that thing called a conscience.So I wonder about these people. Do
they have a conscience, because ifyou have a conscious, the Golden Rule
will make a lot of sense toyou. If you have a conscious,
there's some things you're just not goingto do because you know it's going to
bother you as well as it's goingto make life for somebody else more difficult
(15:33):
or bad. Because at the endof the day, we ought to be
here making life better for others,better for others, not worse for others.
So that's another reason why I'm afirm believer in the Golden Rule.
All right, that's the episode fortoday. This is the podcast, folks.
I think now in twenty twenty three, anytime you're behind a microphone is
considered a podcast, but it's notso because we still have radio broadcasts.

regard for anybody else's emotions or theirfeelings, have no regard for that whatsoever.
I do a lot of work withmy students in terms of trying my
(12:37):
best to keep them out of thecemetery or out of jail. And a
young man who I knew as ayoung child as like three, four,
five, six, seven, eightyears old, he's twenty nine now and
I just learned that he's now goingto jail for a murder where he literally
shot somebody in the head and theperson died. And now this young man
(13:00):
at twenty nine is looking at thirtyyears to life, no regard for someone
else's life. This was a childthat I know and knew and tried to
counsel as well, who decided hewanted to do his own thing, and
more than one time. This isnot the first time he ran into trouble
with the law, but this isgonna be his last time because with this
(13:22):
one, the shooting of someone andkilling them and weapons charges and the fact
that you're in ex con and youhad other records that he gonna be in
there this time for the rest ofhis days. But you got to think
again, would you have wanted someonebecause that man that he killed was someone's
child, that man that he killedwas someone's father, Would you have wanted
(13:43):
that to occur in your family?This same child that committed that murder.
I know for a fact would nothave wanted that done to him, nor
anyone in his family. And yethe had no problem now taking the life
of someone else. And now hislife is going to be gone because he's
doing thirty to life in prison himself. This is so simple, folks,
(14:05):
I do not get it. Thisis just one of those things that just
gets beyond me in terms of howdo you do something to someone that you
know for a fact that if someonedid whatever that was to you, you
would not like it, You wouldnot want it done to you. You
would lose your mind and flip outand get angry and emotional and everything else.
(14:28):
Yet when you did it to somebodyelse, it didn't bother you.
To be honest with you, Idon't know how some of these folks sleep
at night. I don't know howDonald Trump goes to sleep at night.
I really don't with all those chargesagainst him, I don't know I sleep
with this kid that I was justdescribing. I don't know how he's going
to be sleeping now for the nextthirty years to life. Knowing that he
took the life of somebody else,it probably doesn't bother m. I don't
(14:50):
know how the person who destroyed myfamily heirloom, who destroyed a piece of
furniture, a piece that I hadfor over fifty years. I don't know
how that person had or is sleepingat night. Because see, there are
certain things that if I were todo to people, it would bother me.
There's certain things if I were tocommit that particular act against another person,
(15:11):
knowing how that would make that personfeel, that would bother me.
That's that thing called a conscience.So I wonder about these people. Do
they have a conscience, because ifyou have a conscious, the Golden Rule
will make a lot of sense toyou. If you have a conscious,
there's some things you're just not goingto do because you know it's going to
bother you as well as it's goingto make life for somebody else more difficult
(15:33):
or bad. Because at the endof the day, we ought to be
here making life better for others,better for others, not worse for others.
So that's another reason why I'm afirm believer in the Golden Rule.
All right, that's the episode fortoday. This is the podcast, folks.
I think now in twenty twenty three, anytime you're behind a microphone is
considered a podcast, but it's notso because we still have radio broadcasts.
