    There is a saying attributed to Hillel that I tend to rely on when I'm overly tired, hangry, or otherwise just "not fit for people."

    "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." - Rabbi Hillel

    Usually reminds me to ease up on the grouch, if any of the above apply. [emoji16]

    Nothing I say is a teaching, it's just my own opinion.

      It is a wonderfully universal rule throughout the world. Buddhism has a version, attributed to the Buddha ...

      Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

      I would add a little Zen corollary ...

      Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you ... as you are they and they are precisely you too.

        Thank you for this teaching and resource, Jundo -- and the gentle correction of my ignorance of this text. I will research it to learn more. Gassho2

          In old age, we don't add dangerous art; activities as a Buddhist vowing precepts, less material. Five years I've given away what's not needed, gave away money, saved money, buy less. Marjorie and I give gifts to make consuming less, pay off debt, spend only what is needed for creativity wholesome fine art, travel less, next book in electronic form, and pictures as images, not so much on paper. This is not to brag but show what's possible. My wife and I saved money from service work earning our living.
