The Golden Rule, features human beings from all over the world of various ages and ethnicities, simply standing serenely in contemplation of the words. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Similar messages are central to all the world's major religions, Buddhism. Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful. Buddhism. Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you. Hinduism. This is the sum of duty. Do not do to others what would cause pain have done to you. Judaism. What is hateful to you? Do not to your fellow man. This is the law. All the rest is commentary. Islam. None of you truly believes. Unless he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself. Ethical humanism.

(highlight:: The Golden Rule Doesn't Account for Other's Preferences and Interests
Summary:
The Golden Rule fails to consider individual differences, particularly in power dynamics.
It assumes treating others as we want to be treated is ethical, but ignores the possibility that they may have different preferences based on their unique characteristics and circumstances.

(highlight:: Humanist Golden Rule: Elicit the best in others and you will elicit the best in yourself
Summary:
Acting to bring out the best in others leads to bringing out the best in ourselves.
Focusing on empowering others to fulfill their potential is essential for us to elicit the best in ourselves. The moral principle is that we all collectively rise when we empower others.
This rule is advocated for in personal lives, communities, and at global organizations like the United Nations.

The golden rule that I promote within humanism is, act to elicit the best in others and you will elicit the best in yourself. This implies that we begin with the other person, that we strive to empower them so they may fulfill their potential as they envision it, as they create it. Only then will we elicit the best in ourselves. Morally, we all rise most when we rise together. That's the version of the rule I hope we follow in our lives, in our communities and at the United Nations.)
