Then‚ with the golden rule the focus will be on the whole maxim‚ “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”‚ since it is quite simple.

We also tend to interpret what we see by way of our emotions. Once educated‚ we gain the capacity to see a broader spectrum of opinion and perspective‚ and to see our own culture and even ourselves as a tapestry-like product of history.
