The so-called Golden Rule has numerous example from China to Greece spanning centuries yet,

That which is despicable to you, do not do to your fellow, this is the whole Torah, and the rest is commentary, go and learn it."

Rabbi Hillel  d. 10 AD

even this jewish guy beat the alleged jesus to the punch!

HAHAHAHAha this is GOLD sir. I cannot wait till someone tells me again about the Golden Rule and then scoffs and says "You know who said that, Jesus."

Consider others as yourself

-Attributed to the Buddha, Dhammapada 10:1  3rd century BC.

This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you. 

Mahabharata 5,1517  4th century BC

What you don't want done to yourself, don't do to others.

-attributed to Confucius, 5th century BC

All good fun with dates...however, is there any doiubt that mothers have been telling this same thing to their bickering children since the 6th, 7th, 8th, or even 80th century BC?  This particular bit of "wisdom" was uninspiring and common before the first person ever wrote it down, and that person wasn;t any "jesus", or even one of his many ghostwriters.  Had a person stood on a hill somewhere and let a nugget like this fall from their lips...I doubt anyone would have stayed long enough to hear the next brilliant thought dropping, let alone been dumbstruck by the clearly divine nature of this mans deep, deep thoughts.

"Og, you don't like it when Ug hits you...so stop fucking doing it to him or I'll feed you both to the godamned wolves!"

Yeah this "truth" just sounds like part of common sense and our evolutionary developed empathy that almost all humans share.
