Morality: Where do you get yours?

[Creed of Heresy]

It does somewhat matter when you're talking about the Golden Rule. If you don't give a shit about people all together then you're likely to not give a shit about how they feel when you hurt them or steal from them.

Well the golden rule is just "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It's a matter more of respect and civility at lower levels. Not necessarily compassion, unless, you know, you WANT that from other people. Personally...I'd prefer respect, earned respect. Not fear, not love, just respect. Therefore I'd like other people to do things to earn my respect, instead of doing things to make me love or fear them.

Truth be told, someone tries to do something that makes me fear them, well...Golden Rule. Do unto others...
