Be fearless and pure; never waiver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life, Give freely. Be self controlled, sincere, truthful, loving and full of desire to serve. Realize the truth of the scriptures. learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. do not get angry or harm any living creature but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all.

Bhagavad Gita 16: 1-3

Hinduism

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

The Analects of Confucius 15
Confucianism

What is hateful to you do not to your neighbour: that is the whole of the Torah, while the rest is the commentary thereof; go and learn it.

The Babylonian Talmud Shabbat
Judaism

In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:12
Christianity

The "golden rule" in Christianity may be found in other beliefs also. I think the thing that strikes me about it is the positive way it is expressed. Do unto others, If you would be treated with respect you must respect others. If you would be treated kindly you must be kind. It may not always return to you as you would wish but it is certainly a way to live your life.

If you would be loved you must love.

Have a great week and remember to Love.
