Good writing. I agree on many points. I always try to treat people like I would like to be treated. It sounds like something obvious, but it's important and many of us tent to forget about this simple rule. From time to time people tell me that my empathy makes me weak, that I care too much of others, I give too much, expecting nothing. But I know that my attitude is right and I stick to it for years. Because I know how much I've received from strangers, and I know that I've built some relations that I would never did with different approach.
