one thought permeates our thinking.
Little wonder then it is called "The Golden Rule."
Judaism, Christianity:
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “You must love
Jehovah* (*English transliteration of the "tetragrammaton") your God with all your heart, and your
whole soul, and your whole mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second one
like it is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:36-40; (Jesus quoting Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18 of the Hebrew Scriptures)
Greek Philosophy:
Do not do unto others what angers you if done to you by others.
Isocrates 436-338 BCE
Wiccan Religion:
An it harm none, do what thou wilt.
Wiccan Rede
Confucianism:
Tzu-kung asked, 'Is there a single word which can be a guide to conduct throughout one's life?' The
Master said, 'It is perhaps the word shu. Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.'

essence of morality. All other activities are due to selfish desire.

he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.
