In Ancient Greek philosophy

"What you wish your neighbors to be to you, such be also to them." (Sextus the Pythagorean)

"Do not to your neighbor what you would take ill from him." (Pittacus)

"Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing." (Thales)

"Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others." (Isocrates)

"The suffering you try to avoid do not try  to impose on others." (Epictetus)
 

Some Questions To Ponder:

- What does the golden rule mean to you?

 -  Do you have a personal story or anecdote of how you learned some insight into this value?

 -  How does this progressive value differ from conservative values?

 -   How have conservative values failed?

 -  How would you improve these Progressive Values Stories?
