The Golden Rule
A Mirror for Your Actions
“Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself.”
A sentence almost everyone knows. Yet it is worth looking at it again.
This text does not take a position. It invites reflection.
One Rule – Many Meanings
Treat others as you want to be treated.
Do not inflict on others what you would not want to experience.
Treat others as they want to be treated.
Do You Really Know This Rule?
When did you last act consciously according to this rule?
When did you ignore it?
Not as judgment, but as observation.
Three Levels of Action
1. Orientation toward myself – my standards lead.
2. Avoidance of harm – I hold back.
3. Orientation toward the other – I listen and adapt.
Different Relationships
Do I act the same toward partners, colleagues, employees, strangers?
Or do closeness and role change my behavior?
An Open Ending
The golden rule is not a law.
It is a mirror.How do I treat others – and why?
