“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.”
Do to others as you would have them do to you — the Golden Rule is the positive formulation of the reciprocity principle — but applied to the treatment of others rather than the expectation of what others will do to you. Do to others: the initiative is yours, not a response to how others treat you. As you would have them do to you: the standard is the treatment you desire, not the treatment you receive.
