text: if the world truly followed the golden rule, would there be peace? the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. almost every religion has this rule somewhere in their teachings. why don't we follow it? i think so.  the one golden rule that would encompass everything would be to "do onto others as you would have them do onto you"  if everyone followed that one rule.  people would express more with love than war.  imagine ....no more hurt feelings because of spity comments or evil doings.  beautiful.
