It's like the golden rule simply means as long as we each treat each other shitty we're good. There needs to be another qualifier, and empathy, or kindness, or something else also needs to be attached. But, look who's their leader! Clean. Your. House.

There is the Platinum Rule, which is to treat others how they would want to be treated. I've heard more references to it in the past few years than I have to the Golden Rule, so I take that as a good sign.

The silver rule is good too. “What you don’t want done to you, don’t do to others.”
