To Earn What Was Deserved

It is important to know that we are a race that does unto others what is done unto us. Although this is good in the sense that we are good to the people who are good to us, the downside is that to whoever is bad to us, we are bad. This is a reality. A few minutes ago, I went into the freezer to get some ice cream. I noticed that there was only one scoop left and decided to take it for myself. When my brother asked for some of mine and told me that the fair thing to do would be to split it, I told him that I wouldn't do it because I know that he wouldn't do it for me. My conscience overpowered my greed and I decided to split it, not because he would have done the same for me (because I'm sure he wouldn't have), but because it was the right thing to do. In this way, the lesson I learned is not to do unto others what others do to you, but do to others what you would LIKE to be done to you. 

In this way, David's morals are partially good and partially bad, for he does unto others what others do unto him, not what I said should be done previously. David's morals can be seen when he says that "I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me." (Sam. 2 10.2) We must all take our morals into consideration, including the magnificent King David.
