In every single religion from Judaism to Christianity, and from Buddhism to Hinduism, and Islam to Confucianism; there is the "Golden Rule".
In the Talmud of Judaism we read, "The things you hate should not be done to others."
In the New Testament of Christianity, Luke, Chapter 6, we read, "Do to others what you would wish them to do to you."
In Buddhism, the book called Udanavarga, we read, "Do not hurt others in ways that would hurt you."
In Hinduism, the Book of Mahabharata, we read, "Do nothing to others that would cause you pain if they did it to you."
In the Islam faith, the book of Sunan, we read, "You are not a real Muslim until you want for other people what you want for yourself."
In the Analects of Confucius, we read, "Do nothing to others that you would not want them to do to you."
I am going out to the privvy now and contemplate why I have no empathy or compassion for my fellow human beings who are as equally insane as I am.
Thank you for your consideration, and please have pity for me in my privvy.
