O/T Who can improve on this

Mehrdad came up with a good one the other day:

[Sclox]

In my humble opinion, the word "trust" is the most important word in the English language.

Cnt.

[Sclox]

Not a word but,

"don't treat others how you would like to be treated but how they wish to be treated."

[toptoon]

Not a word but,

"don't treat others how you would like to be treated but how they wish to be treated."

Not sure I’d go with that one. Should a good person treat a bad person the way the latter wants to be treated?

[Marat18]

Fair.
I like that it is both fair like frank and fair like just

[waalsendmick]

The most important word to me from being around 11 yr old till I was around d 26 or so.... was KEEGAN!

Now I'm 50, I'm waiting to see HOWE it can be bettered.

On behalf of our present illustrious government, "humanity"

[GBruno]

Good thread. Near impossible to pick one word, but for me it would be a toss up between "I" and "Truth".

The concept of the individual "I" is possibly the greatest achievement of humanity. Concepts like "Rights" "Privacy" "Ownership" "Liberty" and "Self esteem" are impossible without it.

"Truth" relates to "Logic", "Rationality" "Objectivity" "Honesty". All sadly lacking these days.

Any talk of morality requires all of the above. A moral code without the above leaves you ruled by the subjective whim of the majority or those in power, elected or otherwise. You end up with the worst atrocities in history.

But anyway, have we got this Ekitike lad yet or what?
