  1. A quotation from John Adams

    We must come to the Principles of Jesus. But, when will all Men and all Nations do as they would be done by? Forgive all Injuries and love their Enemies as themselves? I leave those profound Phylosophers whose Sagacity perceives the Perfectibility of Humane Nature, and those illuminated Theologians who expect the Apocalyptic Reign, to enjoy their transporting hopes; provided always that they will not engage us in Crusades and French Revolutions, nor burn us for doubting.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1816-02-02) to Thomas Jefferson

  6. @itsweezie Of course, MILLIONS of people have died in prior wars & purges in the "name" of #Catholicism" & MILLIONS of #Jews were singled out for death by the #Nazis. 🤷‍♂️

    This is not the reason I'm am an #antheist." I use to hedge can call myself an #agnostic but I am a DEVOTE atheist.

    I'm not #religious because #religion is just something that was made up by MEN to control & exert power over people into behaving the way that they want people to behave in subordination to them.

    If you believe in the tenets of any religion, you do NOT have to abide by the rules of an organized religion to live by them.

    I believe in the #TenCommandments & the #GoldenRule not because I believe in #Christianity but because they just make sense. 🤷‍♂️

    There are other religious tenets that make no sense to me at all & I pay absolutely NO attention to them.

  9. A quotation from Wendell Berry

    People who live at the lower ends of watersheds cannot be isolationists — or not for long. Pretty soon they will notice that water flows, and that will set them to thinking about the people upstream who either do or do not send down their silt and pollutants and garbage. Thinking about the people upstream out to cause further thinking about the people downstream. Such pondering on the facts of gravity and the fluidity of water shows us that the golden rule speaks to a condition of absolute interdependency and obligation. People who live on rivers — or, in fact, anywhere in a watershed — might rephrase the rule in this way: Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.

    Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
    Essay (1997), “Watershed and Commonwealth,” Citizenship Papers (2003)

  10. @Schafstelze #DGAF über Anschlussfähigkeit. Ich muss niemandem mehr etwas beweisen.

    Ich sage aber: Wut düngt eine giftige Pflanze, die in allerlei Richtungen wächst. Ich finde, diese Pflanze muss man nicht düngen; schon gar nicht, wenn es @BlumeEvolution und @rpolenz betrifft.

    Ich stelle mir vor, ich wäre in meiner Partei quasi allein, kämpfte aber gut Kämpfe um ehrbare Positionen. Wie würde ich mich bei solchen Kommentaren wohl fühlen? #GoldenRule

  16. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.

  17. One of the /facepalm moments you see in online communities is when a person or group attacks or insult a different culture or people, and when they fight back, they get offended and reports them (and calls the gang to mass report and exchange more words).

    This is common in online games but also in the #SocialWeb. All you can do is 🤦🏽 or 🤷🏽 or both.

    Moral lesson: If you think you're entitled to attack, bully, harass, or defame another person, people/Nation, culture, language, or country, then you shouldn't complain if they return the favor.

    As the #GoldenRule goes:

    > Treat others as one would like others to treat them

    > Do not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated

    > What one wishes upon others, they wish upon themselves

    Or, religious or philosophical:

    > Ma'at: Do to the doer to make him do.

    > Ma'at: That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another.

    > Thales: Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing.

    > Isocrates: Do not do to others that which angers you when they do it to you.

    > Leviticus (book): You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself

    > Matthew (book): In everything do to others as you would have them do to you

    > Hinduism: If the entire Dharma can be said in a few words, then it is—that which is unfavorable to us, do not do that to others.

    > Confucious: What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.

    > Yoruba: One who is going to take a pointed stick to pinch a baby bird should first try it on himself to feel how it hurts.

    Or, as we Filipinos say:

    > Karma!

  18. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    Temperance and abstinence, faith and devotion, are in themselves perhaps as laudable as any other virtues; but those which make a man popular and beloved are justice, charity, munificence, and, in short, all the good qualities which render us beneficial to each other.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-12-08), The Spectator, No. 243

  23. had not read the whole Caroline Kennedy letter rebuking her cousin as a sadist who got off on putting LIVE baby chickens on a blender to feed his pet birds of prey, which he kept in his drug den.

    knew of Robert Kennedy Jr being a drug dealer but had never heard of the depths of his depravity.

    #animalCruelty is a HUGE red-flag for domestic #abuse, #rape, mass #murder

    indifference to suffering is a rejection of the #GoldenRule and all social contracts. it’s corruption that ends in #fascism.

  24. A quotation from Judith Martin

    Q. What is etiquette? And why is it so important?
     
    A. It’s important because we can’t stand the way that other people treat us. Although we want the right to be able to behave in any way we want. Somehow a compromise is in order, if you want to live in communities. If you live on a mountaintop by yourself, it’s not necessary.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    Interview (2011-08), “Q and A with Miss Manners,” by Arcynta Ali Childs, Smithsonian magazine

  28. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

       The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
       It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 100 (1955)

    Ask three questions about the #GoldenRule :
    1. What is it?
    2. Who said it?
    3. Do you follow it?

  39. Kant said:

    In arriving at moral judgments one does better to ... follow the strict method and base one’s thinking on the universal formulation of the categorical imperative: Act in accordance with a maxim that can at the same time make itself a universal law.

    He went on:

    But if one wants to enable the moral law to have access to a mind, it is very useful to bring one and the same action under the ... concepts I have listed, and thus, so far as possible, to bring it nearer to intuition.

  41. The main criticism #Kant had of the #GoldenRule is that it relies too heavily on subjective personal inclinations and desires.A #sadist following the Golden Rule could justify inflicting pain on others. The #CategoricalImperative aims to be an objective, universally binding principle based on reason alone, not contingent on individuals' wants.
