That’s being fair.
Now, back to “golden rule”. Indeed, it is a fixed phrase. As a matter of fact, it’s often spelt Golden Rule, in capital letters. Golden Rule usually refers to the universally accepted principle governing social conduct, that is, one of the most important rules governing our relations to one another, i.e. treating others the way you want yourself to be treated.
In other words, treat others with kindness and respect if you want them to treat you likewise.
In the words of Christians, love your neighbor. Do not do unto others what you don’t want to do unto you.
In China, we share a similar idea, as Confucius said: Do not impose on others what you don’t wish to have for yourself.
If you have any empathy, like, at all, you’ll have no problem agreeing with this principle. Mutual respect is what makes the world go round.
Peacefully, I mean.
No more ado. Here are media examples of “golden rule”:
1. In a cryptic, telling comment on Army Chief Gen V K Singh’s recent controversial comments, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight said, “Sometimes silence is a golden rule.”
On his way from Myanmar to Delhi, the Prime Minister was asked by reporters about Gen Singh's recent TV interviews in which he, among other comments critical of the government, had alleged that his letter to the PM was leaked by the Ministry of Defence.
