Today my Dad arrived for a 4 day visit. He will be sleeping in the flat we have next door which we often rent on AirBnB. As it happens we had some guests who left that day after a 4 day stay. When I went into the flat to prepare it for my Dad I was shocked at the state it was in. The people had left their trash everywhere and smoked heavily (even though it is clearly indicated the flat is no-smoking). I don't understand what goes through these people's mind? I cannot imagine that they treat their own houses like that so what is it about travelling that encourages people to be slobs. If there is one over riding principle which we should all live by and that we should teach our children from the youngest age it is :
Do onto others as you would have them do onto you
This is attributed to Jesus Christ and as far as I'm concerned it is probably the best rule ever to have come out of a religion. It's a simple rule that anyone can understand and it covers everything. Once you have agreed to that principle all other rules become unnecessary. Murder, Theft, Rape, Lies, Insults, Cheating are all covered by that one principle. If you put that as sentence as article 1 of the Civil Code you could probably get rid of most of the rest of the articles.
