![]() Remnants of Glastonbury Abbey The excuses we invent to create loopholes to the golden rule are graduated in proportion to the degree of the indignity we inflict. For example, ➤ we demonize our enemies to justify killing them; ➤ we dehumanize captives to justify enslaving them; ➤ we disparage victims of discrimination to rationalize exploiting them; ➤ we dismiss people as nobodies to justify discounting their views. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is, among other things, the fundamental law of reciprocal indignity. The symmetry undergirding the golden rule is the assumption of equal dignity for all. Breaking the cycle of indignity and violence is a dignitarian application of "turn the other cheek." As reciprocal dignity becomes the norm, the roles we play in co-creating and maintaining each others' identities become clear, and "love thy neighbor as thyself" begins to look like an obtainable ideal.

Fuller, Ph.D. robertworksfuller.com (*1936) US American professor of physics, college president, dignity and rankism researcher, lecturer, author, Rankism vs. the Golden Rule, presented by LA Progressive, 3.

The devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket.
The friend said to the devil,
