A friend to no man

 
   There are people in this world who will always do right by 
   their fellow man i.e. they will treat them fairly and justly --
   treat them as they themselves would wish to be treated.  They 
   won't wrong any man.  And then there are also people in this 
   world who are a friend to no man.  They will walk on any man.  
   They are predators.  They will, without conscience, prey on 
   people.  They will manipulate people, use them, steal from 
   them, cheat them, lie to them, and step on them.  It is part of 
   their nature.  Down at the center of their heart they are 
   basically selfish.  They care for no one but themselves.  I am 
   probing, trying to get down to the basic ingredients that make 
   people tick.  And am I not getting down to a basic ingredient 
   in personality?  Some people have basic natures of gold and 
   others of a much more base metal.  Aren't we talking about what 
   the Bible alludes to when it speaks of loving your neighbor as 
   yourself and doing unto others as you would have them do unto 
   you?
