The Golden Rule
2007-06-07 11:48:44 · answer #2 · answered by Alan 7 · 1⤊ 0⤋
Common sense. I don't want to be hurt, so I don't hurt others. I don't want to be stolen from, so I don't steal. And so on. Nothing magical or miraculous about it and it certainly has nothing to to with any religion. Just the innate sense of justice and fairness that stems from the ability to empathize. All emotionally healthy people have it.

There is an innate sense of right and wrong. I think it is a part of the evolutionary process. Practicing good moral virtue advances the progress of mankind. We all have a mutual interest in being good to one another.

The Golden Rule, actually. And my highly developed sense of fairness.

I also have a strong sense of empathy. I personally find it very upsetting to see other people upset or otherwise in distress and more so if my actions have caused it.
Then of course is my upbringing -my parents tried to raise me correctly.
Not such a big mystery.

spontaneity, i.e. trusting to act well in the moment
that means trusting the outcome of 3 billion years of evolution, that has resulted in our interesting mix of competitive/cooperative genes
