This saying is what is known by "old school" people. Most popular with black people, this saying simply means to respect people, but not to get too close to them especially if they have hurt you in some way in the past. While you "treat them how you would like to be treated", you still cast an eye behind your back and make sure they don't hurt you again.

There are many parables to this story including the holy man who asked God to if He could show him heaven and hell and one phrase which shortens this one: When you sup with the devil, use a long handled spoon.

Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?

A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
