Members warmly discussed the meaning of the golden rule after someone asked what it meant in the site's text boxes, with most agreeing it means treating others as you would like to be treated. Several members shared how this principle appears across different faiths, including Christianity, the Baha'i Faith, and Islam, with one member beautifully noting that the rule transcends any single religion and reflects our shared humanity. A recurring theme was the importance of inclusive language and mutual respect, with members gently acknowledging that while faith-based references can be meaningful, it's essential to make everyone feel welcome regardless of their background or beliefs.

The golden rule is to treat others the way you would like them to treat you. It is based on Mathew 7:12

Any of our Muslim contingent want to share their equivalent of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Love to know! Or other faiths?

Thanks cocoanina. For those of us not familiar with the bible(where "Matthew" is found) that may be helpful. Lots of nice people on this site but the Christian references will make people excluded if they either aren't familiar or perhaps there are parts of Christianity that makes them feel on the outside of the "club"

Now are you "pulling my leg" or do you really mean it? To keep it simple, it means don't be nasty or mean.

Thanks mkathryn, I really enjoy what I get from this site that isn't illness related. It reminds us of our much more important thing in common, our humanity:)
