[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_homo[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_homo ;

Ecce homo (/ˈɛksi ˈhm/Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈettʃe ˈomo]Classical Latin: [ˈɛkkɛ ˈhɔmoː]; "behold the man") are the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the Vulgate translation of the Gospel of John, when he presents a scourged Jesus, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his Crucifixion (John 19:5). The original New Testament Greek"ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος"romanized: "idoù ho ánthropos", is rendered by most English Bible translations, e.g. the Douay-Rheims Bible and the King James Version, as "behold the man".[a] The scene has been widely depicted in Christian art

DJ..related; [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule 

The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as one would want to be treated by them. It is sometimes called an ethics of reciprocity, meaning that you should reciprocate to others how you would like them to treat you (not necessarily how they actually treat you). Various expressions of this rule can be found in the tenets of most religions and creeds through the ages.[1]

The maxim may appear as a positive or negative injunction governing conduct:

  • Treat others as you would like others to treat you (positive or directive form)[1]
  • Do not treat others in ways that you would not like to be treated (negative or prohibitive form)
  • What you wish upon others, you wish upon yourself (empathetic or responsive form)

Etymology[edit]

The term "Golden Rule", or "Golden law", began to be used widely in the early 17th century in Britain by Anglican theologians and preachers;[2] the earliest known usage is that of Anglicans Charles Gibbon and Thomas Jackson in 1604.[3]

Ancient history[edit]

Ancient Egypt[edit]

Possibly the earliest affirmation of the maxim of reciprocity, reflecting the ancient Egyptian goddess Ma'at, appears in the story of "The Eloquent Peasant", which dates to the Middle Kingdom (c. 2040–1650 BCE): "Now this is the command: Do to the doer to make him do."[4][5] This proverb embodies the do ut des principle.[6]Late Period (c. 664–323 BCE) papyrus contains an early negative affirmation of the Golden Rule: "That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another."[7]

Ancient India[edit]

Sanskrit tradition[edit]

In Mahābhārata, the ancient epic of India, there is a discourse in which sage Brihaspati tells the king Yudhishthira the following about dharma, a philosophical understanding of values and actions that lend good order to life:

One should never do something to others that one would regard as an injury to one's own self. In brief, this is dharma. Anything else is succumbing to desire.

— Mahābhārata 13.114.8 (Critical edition)[citation needed]

The Mahābhārata is usually dated to the period between 400 BCE and 400 CE.[8][9]

it is about "morality" ...[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality ;

Morality (from Latin moralitas 'manner, character, proper behavior') is the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions between those that are distinguished as proper (right) and those that are improper (wrong).[1] Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophyreligion or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal.[2] Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness".

DJ...maybe now more than in most times knowing to do "the right thing" -the best you can...matters...
