The Golden Rule is FLAWED.
You treat others as THEY want to be treated, NOT as you want to be treated.

That rule was written by a flawed human who thought they knew how everyone else wants to be treated.
You might actually want to ask someone how to treat them before assuming that you know.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

The Golden Rule, in both Positive and Negative form..."Do unto others...." or "Dont do, unto others that which you would not want done to you" is a tenant and core philosophical approach to life, written by the wisest of people, across all cultures, faiths, and time periods...at least back 2500 years in Western culture, and likely 10,000 plus years in the East.
I value the thousands of generations before me, that left this one message as the core to humanities existence
in relation to creating a Civil society, regardless of perspectives.
Simply put, it seems to be humankind Best Advice passed on from Generation to Generation, and for me, personally,
the only way to go through life.
Doesnt mean one cant throw it out the window, but does that make this "New" direction wise? or never tried before?
Wisdom.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Certainly you have the right to your opinion, but if I may.
I want to be treated with Flowers, steaks, and unlimited Alcohol. Im not sure how many people are lining up to treat
me the way I WANT to be treated.
Anyway, I didnt write it, and I guess you have more insight then all the Gods, Leaders, Prophets, Sages, and Wise man
then ever lived!
Please do write a book, I am your first customer!

So when you offer the cooked steak on a plate and hold it under the nose of a lifelong vegitarian,
They may not think the gesture is nice, and it is certainly not the way they would choose to be treated.

Being "nice" is complicated
