Don't Do To Others What You Don't Want Them To Do To You

In this episode of the Twilight Zone you can see a perfect example of one of the golden rules that I have learned since I was a young boy. Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you, I remember my mother telling me this whenever I said something mean to my brother or got in a fight with him. As I was about half way through the episode I started to realize how cliché it was. It was the typical aliens coming to earth and giving us a solution to all of our problems. When they deciphered what the title of the book, with all of the world’s solutions, was I thought that it was a survival guide but when I realized that the book was really a cook book I discovered the poetic justice and irony in the episode. It was a cookbook on how to cook humans which is ironical because we consume everything that is inferior to us so the aliens are just doing to us what we would do to them. I am amazed of the thought that people gave to this TV show because you can’t usually take something like poetic justice from TV.
