'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.' (Matthew 7:12)

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is called the Golden Rule, and if everyone followed it, the world would be a better place.

Have you seen someone get bullied on social media?

Reach out to the person today and send some positive vibes his or her direction.

What’s something that could really brighten your day?

Do that for someone else.

Have you ever said something you with you could take back?

It’s never too late to admit your mistake and say you’re sorry. Apologize today.

Dallin H. Oaks October 2014 'Loving Others and Living with Differences'

On the subject of public discourse, we should all follow the gospel teachings to love our neighbor and avoid contention. Followers of Christ should be examples of civility. We should love all people, be good listeners, and show concern for their sincere beliefs. Though we may disagree, we should not be disagreeable. Our stands and communications on controversial topics should not be contentious. We should be wise in explaining and pursuing our positions and in exercising our influence. In doing so, we ask that others not be offended by our sincere religious beliefs and the free exercise of our religion. We encourage all of us to practice the Savior’s Golden Rule: “Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them”  Matthew 7:12

When our positions do not prevail, we should accept unfavorable results graciously and practice civility with our adversaries. In any event, we should be persons of goodwill toward all, rejecting persecution of any kind, including persecution based on race, ethnicity, religious belief or nonbelief, and differences in sexual orientation.
