Scouter's Minute - The Golden Rule

Every religion has some variation of the "Golden Rule" or principle.

I thought today that I would include some examples of what they are, from Christianity and Muslim to Sikhism and Buddhism.
********************************************
Blessed are those who prefer others before themselves. -- Baha'i Faith
Hurt not others in ways that you would you yourself would find hurtful. -- Buddhism
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. --Christianity
This is the sum of all duty: treat others as you yourself would be treated. -- Hinduism
No one of you is a believer until you desire for another that which you desire for yourself. -- Islam
In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, regard all creatures as you would regard your own self. -- Jainism
What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. -- Judaism
Be not estranged from another for God dwells in every heart. -- Sikhism
Human nature is good only when it does not do unto another whatever is not good for its own self. -- Zoroastrianism
********************************************
Happy Easter to all!
YIS...LE
