"Do not do to others what you would not like yourself." (Confucianism) [Analects 12:2]
"Regard your neighbour's gain as your gain, and your neighbour's loss as your own loss." (Taoism) [Tai Shang Kan Yin P'ien]
"Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." (Buddhism) [Udana-Varga 5:1]
"Seeing oneself in all and all in oneself, one does not injure others because that means injury to oneself." [from Nikhilananda Essence of Hinduism quoting Bhagavadgita]
Different sources but combine in the same ethical principle: the way in which we ourselves wish to be treated should be our guide as to how we treat others. The religious view of the question of good and evil is merely another reason for doing good, and definitely not an argument for the reverse.

I believe in karma.
If i treat someone badly, then someone else will treat me badly. Or to someone that is close to me.
True....what comes around always comes back around right..
Good one Claire, lengkap dengan ayat rujukan lagi hehehe.. Ini hukum universal dan diterima oleh semua orang tak kira bangsa dan agama. Kalau semua orang mengamalkan ini, dunia ini akan aman. Tapi biasanya nafsu adlh terlalu kuat hingga ramai yg terlupa akan hukum ini... maka timbullah apa yang dinamakan dendam kesumat, benci, iri hati, pentingkan diri sendiri dsb.
;) yup..right you are ornest. hehehe....its good to be reminded by these guidance and rules every now and then because as human we tend to forget & mislead by other different set of rules.... sy pun penjahat jg ba selalu..that's y i'm taking it as some kind of ritual to go thru again those concept which shud take me to the right path again...heehe
Bah, read John 14:6
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Indeed. ;)
The religion one professes does matter. For God is ONE, so the TRUTH is also ONE. The Truth is OBSOLUTE because God cannot deceive nor be deceived. Jesus is the Truth. The only way to true peace is to have faith in Jesus NOT through human's effort and strength.
