Misquoting Jesus on a religion forum? (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31)

And for the record, that “negative form” you are using is known as the Silver Rule. Burden of proof of harm still outstanding.

[James C. Bennett]

LOL, my friend, call it silver or golden - one of the oldest known versions of it is this:

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

- Buddha, circa 6th century, BC.

Do you know why this version is superior to the “positive” form? Simple. Consider the case of the masochist. What would a masochist do unto others that the masochist would want done unto him?
