referring tags: Neighbors
Inventory subject: The golden rule; regard for one's neighbor; doing unto others
notes:

The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one would want to be treated by them. Various expressions of this rule can be found in the tenets of most religions and creeds through the ages. (from Wikipedia)

"Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not. This is My command unto thee, do thou observe it."

– Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Arabic no. 29

"Hear no evil, and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh and weep. Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great; and wish not the abasement of anyone, that thine own abasement be not exposed. Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom forevermore."

– Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Persian no. 44

"... Wish not for others what ye wish not for yourselves; fear God, and be not of the prideful. Ye are all created out of water, and unto dust shall ye return. Reflect upon the end that awaiteth you, and walk not in the ways of the oppressor..."

– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶ 148
