Wow, nice post, a lot of references, I like the subject(The Golden Rule) and I already know some of the "quotes" exposed here, but some I didn't know until today, thanks, I'm grateful for this.

But going a little more deeply into the subject, personally, I have, let's say, a rule, if I do something shitier/cheatier, and I know that is what I'm doing is wrong, and this is exposed, I'm ready to be punished according to the rules of society or whatever group that I'm in, I don't like to be accused and punished because the thing I didn't do, but when I'm in err, well...

And I apply this to other people too. If they are wrong, and they know this, and act openly about that, sometimes even showing pride in what they are doing, "God someday will put them down", and people will put them early if there is the possibility...

What I'm saying is, we cannot run of the consequences if we are caught, and we have to have courage and accept them, I abhorred injustices, but I'm not against punishment towards someone who makes a real mistake, especially when it's repetitive, even if it's me, or anyone else, relative or not, who was wrong.

What I learned from this is that I couldn't be a good criminal lawyer...
