Do Not Do to Others What You Do Not Want Others to Do to You

?

自己不愿意的，不要強(qiáng)加給別人。這是孔子所提倡的“恕道”（推己及人的原則），以自己的心意推測(cè)、理解別人的心意，亦即今之所謂設(shè)身處地，換位思考。其哲學(xué)基礎(chǔ)是“性相近”（人的本性是相近的）。它是儒家處理人與人關(guān)系的重要原則，如今也被引申為反對(duì)強(qiáng)權(quán)政治的國(guó)際關(guān)系原則，其基本精神是仁愛(ài)、平等與寬容。

Do not impose on others what you do not want yourself. That is the "way of being considerate" advocated by Confucius. It calls for using one's own mind to infer and understand other people's minds. In today's words, it means to put oneself into others' shoes or to think from their positions. Its philosophical basis lies in the similarity of people's basic natures. It is an important principle put forth by Confucians to govern inter-personal relationships, and is now extended to international relationship management to counter power politics. Its essential elements are benevolence, equality, and tolerance.
