To Clarify

The Golden Rule is:

"Treat others as you would like to be treated"

That's it. It's not a magic spell that unlocks reciprocal goodwill in others. In fact, there are many, many, many, many times when you can Golden Rule all over the place, and people still treat you very, very badly. But that's none of your business. What is your business? Let's review:
"Treat others as you would like to be treated"

That's all you can do kittens. It's the only way that feels right. Spite, revenge, hatred- none of those feel as good as knowing that you have shown others the love and respect you would appreciate. And when they don't show it back, they probably need love and respect even more than you could ever know.
