"Don’t treat people as bad as they are, treat them as good as you are” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying is similar to the “golden rule.”

“Don’t treat people as bad as they are… treat them as good as you are” was posted on Twitter by Paulus Panggabean on October 11, 2011, when the saying went viral. Authorship is uncertain.

Ritu Ghatourey, a writer from India, is often credited with the saying, but the first credit on Twitter is May 20, 2013—about two years after the saying had been in print.
