"Therefore, whatever you want others to do to you, do also to them, for this is
the Law and the Prophets."
- Jesus Christ, Matt 7:12, Holy Bible, Sermon On The Mount

The Golden Rule across 60 versions:
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%207:12


We're supposed to love ourselves, and not put ourselves above others.

We're all equal in Spirit, Cost, and Expense:

We have differing Assets:
1. Body
2. Brain
3. Academic Credentials
4. Work History
5. (Talent)
6. (Brand)
7. Financial Assets. 3% on $1 Billion is $30 million annually, passive income,
for nothing.

So we have unequal passive returns on our unequal assets. Unequal incomes are a
matter of passive return on capital assets, when the hours worked - labor, are equal.

So unequal spending on consumption, is basically crap.


As to the Golden Rule,
"The idea dates at least to the early Confucian times (551–479 BCE), according to
Rushworth Kidder, who identifies the concept appearing prominently in Buddhism,
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and "the rest of
the world's major religions". 143 leaders of the world's major faiths endorsed
the Golden Rule as part of the 1993 "Declaration Toward a Global Ethic". According
to Greg M. Epstein, it is "a concept that essentially no religion misses
entirely", but belief in God is not necessary to endorse it. Simon Blackburn also
states that the Golden Rule can be "found in some form in almost every ethical
tradition"." - wikipedia

ST Luke. Chapter 6, vs 31. The Real Bible

6:29. And to him that striketh thee on the one cheek, offer also
the other. And him that taketh away from thee thy cloak, forbid
not to take thy coat also.
6:30. Give to every one that asketh thee: and of him that taketh
away thy goods, ask them not again.
6:31. And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to
them in like manner.
6:32. And if you love them that love you, what thanks are to you?
For sinners also love those that love them.
6:33. And if you do good to them who do good to you, what thanks
are to you? For sinners also do this.
