GOLDEN RULE: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

The ethic of reciprocity, also known as the Golden Rule, is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. Reciprocity is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of HUMAN RIGHTS , though it has its critics. A key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in - group, with consideration.

Traditionally, " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" also formulated as the Categorical Imperativ : "Act as if the maxim of thy action were to become by thy will a universal law of nature". Confucious had a version of the Golden Rule: "Do unto your inferiors as you would have your superiors do unto you."

Our relationships with other people probably cause more stress and anxiety than any other single factor in our life. Conflicts in the workplace, in the street, in the neighborhood, in the home, in our schools, government, churches and organizations aggravate, annoy and provoke anxiety in most of us fairly regularly. Rudeness, incivility, lawsuits and violence are increasingly common responses to the inevitable differences that arise in relationships.

The world's spiritual traditions find rare agreement in their answer to this universal problem. Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism all contain a version of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Most of our present-day social problems result from the fact that society increasingly follows two secular and cynical revisions of the Golden Rule. The first revision declares, "He who has the gold rules." This rule reinforces the most negative aspects of our competitive economic system by asserting that financial might makes right. It is the modern version of the divine right of kings, the notion that whoever has the most material power deserves to get their way.

I guess applying to these rule is certainly the key for our differences to be able to live harmoniously in this world. each and every one of us has their own explanation as well as implications to these thought. We are living in one place with different beliefs, different principles, different religions, different gods and a lot more. The important thing is that we apply this to our own life and that we would be able to reach that peace we dreaming of.
