I agree , that is the most simplist and fairest approach . But i don't even think that is necessary - i don't believe we conciously set the rules for our own morality , its just there.
Yes we do set our own codes. Remember when you (as a very young toddler) wanted to do something and your parents stopped you?? How did they do this? By causing a small amount of pain, that is how you are taught when you are not able to reason. We forget this and pride ourselves on our understanding and support for illusion and give away our own integrity to institutions that only want to enslave us.
So ... Do as you would be done by.
