   "Therefore, whatever you want others to do to you, do also to them, for this is   
   the Law and the Prophets."   
   - Jesus Christ, Matt 7:12, Holy Bible, Sermon On The Mount   
      
   The Golden Rule across 60 versions:   
   https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%207:12   
      
      
   We're supposed to love ourselves, and not put ourselves above others.   
      
   We're all equal in Spirit, Cost, and Expense:   
      
   We have differing Assets:   
   1. Body   
   2. Brain   
   3. Academic Credentials   
   4. Work History   
   5. (Talent)   
   6. (Brand)   
   7. Financial Assets.  3% on $1 Billion is $30 million annually, passive income,   
   for nothing.   
      
   So we have unequal passive returns on our unequal assets.  Unequal incomes are   
   a   
   matter of passive return on capital assets, when the hours worked - labor, are   
   equal.   
      
   So unequal spending on consumption, is basically crap.   
      
      
   As to the Golden Rule,   
   "The idea dates at least to the early Confucian times (551–479 BCE),   
   according to   
   Rushworth Kidder, who identifies the concept appearing prominently in Buddhism,   
   Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and "the rest   
   of   
   the world's major religions".  143 leaders of the world's major faiths endorsed   
   the Golden Rule as part of the 1993 "Declaration Toward a Global Ethic".   
   According   
   to Greg M. Epstein, it is "a concept that essentially no religion misses   
   entirely", but belief in God is not necessary to endorse it.  Simon Blackburn   
   also   
   states that the Golden Rule can be "found in some form in almost every ethical   
   tradition"." - wikipedia

   "Do What Thou Wilt," shall not be the whole of the law; but, "Do Unto Others"
