Dear friends
My views are:
The very kernal of ethics...THE LAW of COMPASSION.

Hinduism: "Never do to others what would pain thyself." Panchatantra 111.104
Islam: "Do unto all people as you would they should do unto you, and reject for others what you would reject for yourself." Mishkat-el-Masabih
Jainism: "In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self." Lord Mahavira, 6th Century BC
Judaism: "What is hateful to you do not to your neighbour. That is the entire law" Talmud, Shabbat.
Sikhism: "Treat others as thou would be treated thyself."
Taoism: "Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain and your neighbours loss as your own loss." T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien

"Compassion is no attribute. It is the LAW of LAWS."
"Now bend thy head and listen well, O Bodhisattva -- Compassion speaks and saith: "Can there be bliss when all that lives must suffer? Shalt thou be saved and hear the whole world cry?"
Madame H P Blavatsky; The Voice of the Silence
