The Golden Rule- Humanity Healing

The Golden Rule is the Ethic of Reciprocity.

"Every religion emphasizes Human Improvement, Love, Respect for others, Sharing other people's suffering. On these lines, every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal." ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Religious groups, as well as non-theistic ethical systems, differ greatly in their beliefs and practices.

There is, however, a common thread that runs through them all. Each of these systems of belief have some example of the Ethic of Reciprocity in their teachings.

The most common version of this is known as: The Golden Rule...
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

"The Principle of Reciprocity is often the justification, motivation, and in some cases, the Essence of a moral code" ~Oliver Thomson

"Ethics is nothing else than reverence for Life." ~Albert Schweitzer

A key element of the Golden Rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people with consideration and compassion.

The Golden Rule is the Unity and Interconnectedness of all persons.

Even within our differences...We Are All ONE.

"Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind." ~Albert Schweitzer

The Golden Rule has roots in a wide range of world cultures, but it has its highest expression in the Universal Law of ONE:
~We are all One. When one is harmed, all are harmed.
When one is helped, all are healed.
