Golden Rule?

Everyone knows that the Golden Rule is "treat others how you wish to be treated", and Shannon asked if I always act how I want to be treated.

As much as I hate to say this, I do not.  There are some people that I'm really short tempered with which causes me to have a short fuse with them and I often tweak out on them- which is no fun to have done to you.  There are people that I treat better than others--I think that is inevitable-- but in return I'm treated badly.
But I will say, there are some instances that I treat others how I like to be treated, and it usually deals with respect.  In situations in which I do treat others how I wish to be treated, I hope to think what goes around comes around- but that isn't always the case.


Do you think that karma works hand-in-hand with the Golden Rule?
