Practicing it isn’t easy, but the principle is simple.

It only requires attention and intention–capacities that can be developed with practice. Wisdom is the result.

you are missing the point. "follow the golden rule" is ambiguous.

It’s really not: Treat others the way you’d want to be treated. How is that ambiguous? Now actually internalizing that and operating from there even when it’s difficult, that’s the rub.

That is highly ambiguous, and also oversimplifies many decisions, particularly when bringing into group dynamics where individuality treatment needs to be sacrificed for the greater good of the group in question. And so on...

This is rather different to the ‘golden rule’, in my own opinion, but also only maintains my respect for your openness, Matt.

Yea you’re right, I guess I extrapolated what I said from my use of this guideline in my own life.

It looks like good advice to me, but as I said, I see this as being different to ‘golden rule’. That doesn’t mean I’m correct, of course. I’m always open to corrections.
