How so? The Golden Rule isn’t meant to imply that following it will make people treat you better/the way you treat them, it is about being fair to others and avoiding personal hypocrisy of expectation.

??? The golden rule is “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” Not how you think they’ll treat you, not how you expect them to treat you.

it’s not an exchange strategy, it’s a moral stance. you don’t treat others nicely under the assumption they will be nice in return, you do it because it’s the right thing to do.
