NoIWontPickAName , 1 month ago If a vegan invites you to a bbq that they’re cooking and you show up expecting meat, that’s a you thing. A book I was reading by Dennis E Taylor changed my version of the golden rule. Instead we have the three rules: Iron; do unto those weaker than you whatever you want because they can’t stop you. Silver; Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Golden; Do unto others as they would do unto themselves. If you treat everyone as you want to be treated then you are disregarding what they actually want. It actually uses this exact example. If I treat someone as I want to be treated and offer them a steak while knowing they are veggie, then I have offered them nothing at all. I really really recommend the Bobiverse books, they really take a look at what it means to be human and an individual. Stupid sounding series name, but absolutely stellar(Lol, yes intended) books!
