The ‘golden rule’ is a good simple way to live but there is another phrase that is equally good to think about and live by. Do no harm! It might seem simple and simplistic but when you think about the fact that we humans do a lot of things seemingly without thinking it gets a bit more complicated. Can you drive your car and do no harm? Can you cut your lawn and do no harm? How about our treatment of each other? When do our relationships become harmful? Are we aware when our relationships with our children, our lovers, our neighbors, other societies become harmful? Do you know when you do no harm?
i'd say very unaware
