I think the best forms of religion encourage the golden rule and seeking divine guidance within oneself. From those two edicts, it is necessary to act where we have control. "Faith without works is dead."

It is true many people use it as an excuse to do nothing, but I don't think that's the core of most quality spiritual practices.

Nice thinky thoughts tho, Hdo, quality pondering. Have some sats 🥂

What is the silver rule

MAHDOOD 1mo ago

Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. For example, if you don't want to be robbed then don't rob others.

This is more practical than the golden rule. Treating others the way you want to be treated is impractical and most people don't actually follow through. For example, I would like others to give me free money but I don't want to give others free money. The golden rule kind of sucks.

I have always thought of that as the “golden rule 2.0”. Never hear it referred to as the silver rule. I agree it is the better improved rule.

The golden rule by definition also imply that if I like my ass grabbed, it is okay for me to grab your ass.
