THE GOLDEN RULE

T H E   G O L D E N   R U L E for life is that are no golden rules. There cannot be. Life is so vast, so immense, so strange, so mysterious, it cannot be reduced to a rule or a maxim. All maxims fall short, are too small; they cannot contain life and its living energies. Hence the golden rule is significant, that there are no golden rules. An authentic human being does not live by rules, maxims, commandments. The authentic human being simply lives.
