Lesson 5: Treat everyone equally and fairly

Do you know how to treat everyone equally? That is not to see your brothers and sisters to be the most important and people outside your family less important. You should love everyone and treat them equally. When you have some treats and you are with your friends and your brothers or sisters, you have to give everyone an equal share.

When you have only one candy bar and in front of you are your little brother and your friend, you may find it hard to decide who to give the candy bar to. Then you’d better put it away. Or if you are near a candy shop, you can buy more to give everyone enough. That is how you treat them equally.

And what does fairness mean? Let’s imagine one day your buddy takes you to an ice cream shop and he pays. You should let him do that and have fun with him. But another day, you must tell him to go with you to eat ice cream and you will pay. That is fairness. Fairness means no one takes advantage of the other.

If you practice being fair, your ability to see will get sharper and love will grow more.
