The logic of the golden rule -- the more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs, at least not if you want them to listen to you. You can't say that my interests are special compared to yours, anymore than you can say that the particular spot that I'm standing on is a unique part of the universe because I happen to be standing on it that very minute.
Kuldne reegel: mida rohkem sa teistele inimestele mõtled ja nendega suhtled, seda enam sa mõistad, et et sinu huvisid nende omadele eelistada on alusetu, vähemalt siis, kui sa tahad et nad sind kuulaksid. Sa ei saa öelda, et minu huvid on sinu omadest erilisemad, nagu sa ei saa öelda, et koht, kus ma seisan, on eriline osa universumist, kuna mina juhtun siin just praegu seisma.
