The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one wants to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in most religions and cultures

The idea dates at least to the early Confucian times (551–479 BCE), appearing prominently in Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and "the rest of the world's major religions".
