Why is there no one to answer the question?
 
I would guess it's because you are not very polite to people who try to help you.
I don't think so. As the Chinese goes,," I will treat those as they do myself." And as the American Declaration says ," All men are eaual." I have my dignity.
I look up on those who treat me equally. I look down on those who dispise me..If you had read all the shares , you would have gotten it out youself.
Dignity is the first, learning is the second.
Thank you for your guide!

1. A more natural English rendering of this might be, "I will treat others as they treat me"
2. I am not sure what you mean by 'shares' here.
3. What would we have gotten out?

Thanks for your concern!
1. For "treat " in the sentence, you used the same word for contrast is much better. As for " mysefl ",I don't think it is right now. Because we can say " I treat myself and others treat me ,not myself. Is that so?
2.It seems to me on the website somewhere I came across the word " share", I mistook it for "thread".. But in my dictionary I cannot look up the meaning of thread here. Subjectively I take it as what you wrote on the website once. Maybe I am wrong ,too.
3.By your "what" I mean as follows: " perhaps it's time to stop mentioning them. Yes, I realise just did! " quoted from emsr2d2 which hurts my self-esteem, I think.
Hoping to see you again!

There is a mistake in it . I should say I look up to those who treat me equally instead of the above one. Sorry for that!
