[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about treating others how "they" want to be treated.[/quote] Because we can't actually know how others want to be treated - we can only use our empathy and sense of self to make an educated guess. By default we are trapped in our own points of view, so the best we can do is make approximations. The beauty of the golden rule is that it actually aligns with what we know of human mental processing - not how we wish the brain works, but how it DOES. We use mirror neurons to imagine how something would feel for others by 'feeling' how it would feel for us. I 'put myself in your shoes' by imagining them on my own feet. As to an earlier PP who spoke about Christ's teachings - I do see that poster's point, and it's why I'm still open to going to (some) churches although I'm essentially an atheist: the Christ of the bible has some powerful messages about how to live a better life in this world, regardless of what happens after.
