All great scriptures of the Jews, the TORAH, the TALMUD… all are just commentaries on the single, small, seedlike statement: Do unto others what you would like to be done to you by them.
As far as Judaism is concerned, no Jewish thinker has raised any suspicion about it. Neither has any non-Jewish philosopher raised any question about it.
But I am more concerned with human reality than just with philosophical arguments.
And looking at human reality, the statement is not correct — because my taste and your taste may be different.
To do unto others what you would like to be done to you by them can be right only if everybody’s taste is the same. And that is not the case.
For example, somebody is a masochist; he likes to be beaten, he likes to be tortured. Now what should he do with you, torture you? According to the principle, he should beat you, he should torture you, because that’s what he wants you to do to him.
