The Golden Rule ? Sense or Bullshit?

[Magnum]

I said it's not very sophisticated to begin with. Every action has countless possible consequences, the golden rule predicts the person will reciprocate. Which is a reasonable thing to predict. Why is it not worth considering? even if we completely disregard your action's effect on society, human reactions do play a part in what benefits you

. And in actuality, if you returned the wallet, you may or may not make a friend who would want to do you a favour in the future. You cannot discount all human reactions just because they're less certain, you'll miss out. Sociopaths do not discount human reactions, they're often very likeable people.

With reciprocity one has to take into account the nature of the cause(person) and the nature of the effect(person). It's going to be either good or evil. Take a very good guy that by accident bumps into a very evil guy. The good guy had no bad intentions/motives but received a beating from the evil guy. This means that the golden rule applied in both cases but the differing natures resulted in violence due to evil or ignorance. Is violence acceptable? For some it's the only means and for others it's not.

This means that the GR contradicts itself and ends up without meaning for what is good to one is bad to another unless rules are added that defines the how. Once rules are added the GR becomes obsolete. So in practice/real life the GR is BS, it's a nice dream, or isn't it?
