text: it's easier when said "do unto others as you would want them to do unto you". Basically, treat people how you want them to treat you. If you want respect you have to give it. You want people to be nice to you you have to be nice to them. You can't gossip about someone, and then freak out when they gossip about you.... it's just people treating you like you treat them. So, treat people great, and you will be treated great in return.
