    The problem with the golden rule "do unto others what you would have them do unto you" is that it does not take others preferences into account.

    Just because I don't mind my neighbors parking on my grass doesn't mean they like me parking on their grass.

    or

    Just because I like chocolate cake doesn't mean that everyone does.

    I try live beyond the golden rule. I try to keep in mind that people want different things and try not to offend them by offering them what I may want. Such as it would be rude to only serve pork to a Jewish or Muslim guest.
