To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding
in spite of distances or thoughts expressed...That can make life a garden.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule is found in the scriptures
of nearly every religion.
Zoroastrianism: "Whatever is disagreeable to yourself, do not do unto others."
Buddhism: "A state that is not pleasing or delightful to me, how could I inflict that upon another?"
Islam: "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself."
Roman Pagan Religion: "The law imprinted on the hearts of all men is to love the members of society as themselves."
Christianity: "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
Judaism: "...thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
Jainism: "One should treat all creatures in the world as one would like to be treated."
Taoism: "Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain and your neighbor's loss as your own loss."
Hinduism: "This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you."
Confucianism: "One word which sums up the basis of all good conduct...loving kindness. Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself."
Baha'i faith: "Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you and desire not for anyone the things you would not desire for yourself."
