Do not do to others what you dont want others to do to you

(This was told and preached by one of my esteemed Professors, Prof. R. C Sekhar, he is one of those rare professors who educated us in class and not lectured.)

That small sentence that he used to repeat in Managerial ethics class triggerred a thought in me (and that is what a classroom discussion ideally should do). I have been subconsciously mulling over this seed of thought. Suddenly, one fine day (all changes in nature are faster they happen in a moment) I realise that this is the maxim and this is the basic tenet of Life, of any religion, of any faith. This is the whole beautiful way of life, condensed in one single sentence. This is what every religious/spiritual/philosophical text may teach us.

It says the following whole set of things (everything may seem repetitive and the same but their contexts are different)

• Respect others' freedom and rights
• Whatever u do in ur own way without infringing others' rights is always GOOD
• U should be concerned only when others' deeds are entering your or fellow beings' space. Till then, what one does is his prerogative
• THINK before u ACT
• You have every right ONLY on your life and not on others, be it ur own kith n kin

This one sentence gave me deep thoughts... and hope some new thoughts and deeper meanings may come to my mind.... till then... that is it... THINK!
