The Platinum Rule is similar to the Golden Rule, but not quite identical:
- The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would have them treat you.
- The Platinum Rule: Treat others as they like to be treated.
I think it can be improved. I propose usurping the title "Platinum Rule" and giving it a new definition:
- Treat others as you would have your loved ones treated.
This definition seems less subject to the exceptions of greed, deviousness or evil.
I really like this, it sets a higher standard for everyone to live up to and a good one.
