The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim,ethical code, or morality that essentially states either of the following:
This concept describes a "reciprocal" or "two-way" relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally and in a mutual fashion.
This concept can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology, religion, etc.: Psychologically it involves a person empathizing with others. Philosophically it involves a person perceiving their neighbor as also "an I" or "self." Sociologically, this principle is applicable between individuals, between groups, and between individuals and groups. (For example, a person living by this rule treats all people with consideration, not just members of his or her in-group.) Religion is an integral part of the history of this concept.
As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term "Golden Rule" (or "Golden law", as it was called from the 1670s). As a concept of "the ethic of reciprocity," it has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard way that different cultures use to resolve conflicts. It has a long history, and a great number of prominent religious figures and philosophers have restated its reciprocal, "two-way" nature in various ways (not limited to the above forms).

Golden rule,
That applies to you.
A zero sum,
Puzzle of our love.
Even just to say the name was bitter on the tongue,
Well the boy sailed off to riches and the girl sailed off with none.
Another in a broken line of love that she had known,
Another silver tongue but mercury hearted bag of no good bones.
A beauty queen,
Fraying at the seams,
Could never be,
Quite enough for me.
Even just to say the name was bitter on the tongue,
Well the boy sailed off to riches and the girl sailed off with none.
Another in a broken line of love that she had known,
help me, i've left a woman scorned
stay out, another chore undone
know this, i'm fading from your touch
i'm hopeless, my conscious weighs me down
i'm leavin, i'm cheatin
and what comes around goes around
draw back, and let the loss sink in
hod on, and fish amongst the sea
and tied down it's hard to be content
and bail out the finger points at you
i'm leavin, i'm cheatin
and what comes around goes around
i'm not your enemy... we just fell out
i'm not your enemy... i found new blood
hold back your emotions
speak within reason
turn on the lights
put down the knife
we can resolve this
i'm leaving, i'm cheating
Round and round the road we go again
Where we started, nobody knows
It's a cold, cold world, it's a cold, cold world
How can we stop the changes going in America today
Come back, come back to the golden rule
Come back, come back to the golden rule
Round and round the streets we go
Still see the same old thing
They still keep building more prisons
To take our kids away
Why can't we show more love to make this a better day, oh
Come back, come back to the golden rule
Come back, come back to the golden rule
The golden rule is love, my brothers
The golden rule, oh, is love, my sisters
Now you know what I'm talking about
Now you feel my heart and know I'm for real
Look into your souls and know that the truth lies within the same
Find the love that loves a woman's sister
