You don’t have to like someone, but you have to treat them as you wish to be treated.

About This Quote

The phrase “you don’t have to like someone, but you have to treat them as you wish to be treated” is a quote from the philosopher Epictetus. This quote is very true when it comes to human relations. In today’s world, we often hear people say that they don’t like someone, but they have no choice but to treat that person with respect. For example, when a person has been mistreated in the past, he or she will have a hard time trusting anyone in the future. This makes it quite difficult to develop a friendship with this person.
