This Must Be a Central Mantra for Any Heroic Gent

In these divisive times, peace of mind and correct conduct—even when faced with a bad-faith actor—always extends from the Golden Rule. Indeed, across time and beliefs, there is near unanimity of opinion on this truth, as almost all religions have passages in their holy texts, or central writings of their founders, promoting the Golden Rule.
