The Golden Rule Versus

The Platinum Rule


I attended an ethics meeting recently and the group got into a lively discussion regarding the nuances of the Golden Rule which is all about treating others as you would want them to treat you.  However then someone brought up a good point that really isn't it all about being treated the way we want to be treated?  This is what the Platinum Rule is all about because this is tailored to the individual.  Think about it!  We are all different so different things are what we want.  So really don't treat others the way you want to be treated but treat them the way they want to be treated because then you're not just Golden, you're Platinum!
