"The Golden Rule"
It's hard to implement, especially in my life. Inevitably there are people who will do whatever / act however they please regardless of the positivity you try to instill into the world.

What about Treat others how they want to be treated. If I dress and act like a bum then I must want to be treated like a bum.

I don't feel diminished by having helped Raren even though his subsequent behavior caused me to choose not to associate with him.

Brace for philosophy. I think I understand your ideology here. Your concept of good is to promote growth in all living things so that they might be of some use later, or you promote growth because you think that your act of kindness (as you said before) would send small ripples that would lead to more kindness? would this be correct?
