己所不欲，勿施于人

had fever since monday evening. injured my toe while taking bus. my big toe, the toenail bent upwards. bout 1/3 of the toenail. bent upwards!! wa! i was like.. OMG! that's my toenail, it's.. bent upwards! and it bled quite a bit ah. wa, the most painful part is when i push the part of the nail that is bent upwards down to how it should have been. IT WAS VERY PAINFUL! wa, super pain la. pain until i almost went crazy. then after that it was so pain, but i can't just shout in the bus, which was very crowded, so i like just use my hand cover my mouth all those kind of thing. -_-"

ya. then i started to feel cold, bit shivering.. like a bit fever liao. feel weak, blah blah. then i thought, wa, it's getting quite bad eh.. go home, before i slept, take my temperature.. 39.7 degrees! next day, wake up, still 39+ degrees! better go see doctor. waited for 1+ hour at polyclinic, in the end, doctor didn't say much also, and just prescribed me panadol. wa.. waste my time and money sia. go polyclinic see doctor like no see doctor like that. makes me feel that polyclinic really is a place to buy medicine only lo. think next time fall sick, go private clinics better. though more ex, but at least it has better service(should be la), and the doctors seem more professional(should be also ba..). but thank God, after come back from polyclinic, had lunch, take the panadol, went to sleep for a few hours, wake up, the fever dropped to 38+ only! God is good! haha..

this morning wake up, take temperature again.. huh.. still 38+ wor.. but i feel like no fever liao leh.. then i use another thermometer.. 35.9 degrees.. so is which thermometer spoil? -_-"

well back to the topic of the day, 己所不欲，勿施于人. doing my morning devotion as usual just now, and Daily Bread is on this for today. those 8 words has been the most important principle i've been living by most of my life, and it has helped me greatly in my interaction with people ba. and it wasn't until a few years ago that i realised it is based in the Bible too!

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 7:12

己所不欲，勿施于人 works in a reversal way la, but similar. since don't know when, i've always told myself, not to do unto others what i don't want them to do unto me, and to treat others how i want others to treat me. yeah. very powerful. thank God for teaching me such a simple yet powerful principle since the young days of my life. it basically covers every aspect of life with others. i encourage you out there reading this to adopt this as one of the living principles of your life too! Matthew 7:12!

to do some educating on this too, this verse doesn't mean that if you like something, you keep doing onto others, as in, if you like durian, you keep treating others to durian. haha.. that's not how it works. some people may not like durian you see. the principle is to treat them to what they like. this is just an example la. and in using this principle, it doesn't mean you expect others to treat you exactly the way you treat them. it's not to benefit yourself, it's to benefit others. there's no room for self-centeredness in here ok? heh. ya, so hope you who are reading this, can learn to use this verse powerfully, be it in loving someone, talking to someone, your actions towards someone.

ok. being a nice person as i am, i shall give some concrete examples to help you all kickstart. wahahahah.. ya, like when talking to someone, we like others to give us their attention right? so we give them our attention as well! we don't like others to be saying ridiculous things about us, we don't say ridiculous things about others too! (eg, you very fat, you very ugly, you very stupid, etc) we like others to encourage us, so we encourage others too! we don't like others to lie to us, so we don't lie to them too! we want others to trust us, so we have to start to trust others too! yeah, these are just some examples la. heh. for a deeper understanding of this, can come find me ya? i'll be glad to help!

oh, and another principle that i live by also: 宁可全世界负我，不可我负全世界。this means that the world(other people) can harm me, hurt me, do bad things unto me, but i will not do these things to them. no revenge kind of stuff too. heh. :)
