... do to others as you would have them do to you.
Is this a 'good' rule to follow?
I have spent most of my life hating myself - starting from the age of 14 - violently physically injuring myself, deliberately behaving to injure my career prospects, causing myself financial injury and provoking others to hate, hurt and deride me. That is how I have mostly wanted others to "do onto me". It has given me a sense of satisfaction and completeness.
Still I don't think I am right to behave in this way. Is the golden rule really an acceptable basis for moral or ethical behaviour?
