Do unto others as you would have others do unto you

It's a cliche statement, but it's so true. Often times someone does something to us and we are hurt by it. Our knee jerk reaction is to do something back to them to get even. Getting even with them doesn't take the pain away of what they did to us. We need to forgive them for what they did to us and move on. We need to be the bigger and better man and act honorably no matter what they did to us. That can be a difficult, especially when someone has really hurt us. I've taken both paths in many instances and I can tell you from experience that acting honorably is way more peaceful then taking revenge. That to me is a real man.
