It’s not the differences that define us, but the bonds that connect us. Religious labels define people. Like spokes on a wheel, each leading toward the one central hub—God. Consider the Golden Rule, which is found across cultures:
Christianity: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
Judaism: “What is hurtful to yourself, do not do to your fellow man.”
Hinduism: “Do not do to others what would cause you pain.”
Persian: “Do as you would be done by.”
Buddhism: “Seek for others the happiness you desire for yourself. Do not harm others in a way that causes you pain.”
Chinese: “Do not do to others what you would not want done to you.”
Confucianism: “Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.”
Egyptian: “Seek the good for others as you desire for yourself.”
Taoism: “Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain, and their loss as your own.”
Zoroastrianism: “Nature is only good when it does not harm others as it would not harm itself.”
Islamic: “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”
We are all working toward the same goal: to help others. We are all on the same team.
