Quote

Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.

ConfuciusThe Analects

Note

This is the Confucian expression of the Golden Rule. It leans toward an internal standard, guiding behavior through empathy and self-awareness. By starting from what we ourselves dislike, it offers a practical way to consider how our actions affect others. The simple phrasing invites readers to apply this principle to their own relationships and choices.
