What is the golden rule of morality?
Correct answer: Treat others as you would like others to treat you

If only most people could figure out this golden rule, then the world would be a better place to live in. But that's just it! It's becoming worse and worse over time. Because the devil is loose in this world. That's why crime is at the order of the day! Because most people only think about themselves, or what they can gain out of a situation (yet it's so wrong)!
If only every parent can teach this rule to their child! Then it's a good start! But yes, that's just my opinion!

Glory2J, My family was not church goers, but we knew from common decency and good parental leadership to treat others well. One does not need a Bible to tell you how to behave, but it sure comes in handy to blame the devil when it behooves you!

Thy shalt Love thy neighbor as thyself...

which is the same as treat others as you would treat yourself.

Alas parents can’t teach what they don’t practice. Indeed the World would be a better place if they did!

Make no mistake, this is not a "religion" aspect, it is a humanity common sense aspect. One does not necessarily need a mythology/ faith/ religion/ cult/ belief/, etc. (pick a term you prefer, they are all interchangeable), to know or "practice" the premise of this "rule" or whatever you want to call it. One does not necessarily need faith based ideals to be a good person, but common sense & common decency are required.

Player Say what!?, true enough. although it never behoves one to blame the devil (or anyone or thing else) because behoves doesn't mean please, it means is fitting

Thought the golden rule was "They who have the gold makes the rules. Seems to be the way it goes anyway. <EFG>

Narrated from Anas bin Malik that:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother" or he said "for his neighbor, what he loves for himself."
- Sunan Ibn Majah 66

aka the Cartesian maxim. Treat as you'd wish or avoid .
Rather be ethical, given the choice, than any subject of another organized belief...
