Thought for the Day

Another from the Analects of Confucius. Today I ran across his version of the Golden Rule. It's virtually the same. This is Book 15, Chapter 24:

Zigong asked, "Is there a single word such that one could practice it throughout one's life?" The Master said: "Reciprocity perhaps? Do not inflict on others what you yourself would not wish done to you."

I like that word, "reciprocity." I also like the way it's phrased as a question. Uncertainty is more often a virtue than a fault.
