So, I had to look this up. I've heard of the silver rule but didn't know what it was (maybe I still don't?). The SR is saying "don't do to others what you don't want done to you".
I think literally speaking, I like the SR more than the GR. The GR says "do unto others as you'd have done unto you". But we're all different. Maybe what somebody wants is not what somebody else wants.
But with the SR, if you do something to somebody that you want done to/for you....well...that may be their cue to do that very thing to/for you.
