There is a famous spiritual maxim which states succinctly how to live well in a simple, loving fashion. It is known as, The Golden Rule. We all learned it as children: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." 

Perhaps, if we all lived by this rule, it would be much simpler for us to get along well together in this increasingly complex world. We might all endeavor to keep this maxim on our lips and in our hearts along with another famous, simple prescription for living well: "God is love." 

We all seek God throughout our lives. We need only remember that God is love. When we are being loving to others, when we are doing unto them as we would have them do unto us, then all is peace, harmony, and unity. Life then, is simple and good!
