The Salted Solution
29Jan/100

Somebody a Fool about de Golden Rule or “Who really makes the rules?”

The Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would be done by", is the moral cornerstone of  all world religions. Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism ,Islam and many more all have this as their prime moral directive, as do Secular humanists, pagans and probably even vegans.

Its a great rule!

Unless you are a psychopath, its like, the Rule of  Rules. Which is why it seems everyone but the psychopaths will follow it at an individual level and every religion will follow it at a foundational  level.

So far... so good...

But there is a mystery in this world about the Golden Rule that that I shall try to capture using the indulgence of the  poetic muse, a muse that certainly dances with doggerel.

How comes we can't all get along?


Maybe it's simple human greed?

Maybe it's statist corportocracy?

Maybe its democracy tainted,

With planned marketry?

Maybe it's Der Bavarian Illuminati?

Or is it just me,

And you,

Refusing to do what we should, if we knew that we could?

Either way, sad, it seems to me,

This Golden Rule's death is bad mystery.
