Golden Rule:

Asked Mar 27, 2005, 11:23 AM — 19 Answers
Is the independent value of a person implied in the Golden Rule, e.g. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" (Luke 6:31, Matt. 7:12)

Value
It would imply that you want others to always treat you well... But then this is where the belief system of the individual would become the deciding factor.
If reality is always relative to the individual then YES!, this would necessarily have to be based on the individual's own sense of self value, sense of worth, according to his belief system.
(Although I don't think that this implication is innate in the golden rule, I think that is a generalization)

The neat thing about the Golden Rule rule is that is exists in so many religions whether free will is a part of that religion or not. This is a good non-denominational rule to follow in order to base our morals and ethics.

Individuality:
Abiding by the Golden Rule should ALWAYS be a quid pro quo experience, Patty. No one-way street. Reality is ALWAYS relative to an individual. This outlook promotes survival 'here on Earth.' In my case, these thoughts have nothing to do with generalization. They apply to yours truly ... And only yours truly ... Because I'm the one who's pursuing my own individual quest for a correct and proper mind-set. To opine: I have killed the albatross!

Who's this Patty you are speaking to?
And what does "I have killed the albatross!" mean?

Golden Rule, original question
Hi,
Yes, it is dependent on who is doing the "doing".
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" contains the word "you".
What are your values? Some persons values are quite different from others. The courts are full of them!
Best wishes,
Fredg
