My golden rule was 'Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself' which may sound familiar to some of the Church going visitors to this blog, those who follow a certain religion which was dreamt up over 500 years after me hmmm...i wonder why that is.Anyway, the blatant plagiarism i can overlook as Confucism is not a religion, it is a simple moral code which has five very basic virtues to follow which are be generous, sincere and kind to each other and be diligent and serious about it, that is it, no weird stories about an invisible man in the clouds judging you or talking snakes tempting people to eat apples, just don't be a dick to people if you don't want them to be a dick back to you.
I also said that you should only do the right thing for the right reason and avoid conflict and look after nature but not being a religion you get no reward after you die, you just get people being nicer to you when you are living here on Earth.
Following my simple golden rule won't see you living in eternal peace in Heaven surrounded by angels with harps riding fluffy white clouds in a warm glow of celestial light but what you will get is less people being idiots and looking down at what has happened in recent years, boy do you need less idiots knocking about down there.
It really isn't that hard a concept to understand although some people do seem to struggle with it.
