  • Do unto others as I would have them do to me
  • Be compassionate: seek to understand, not to judge
  • Understand that the world is vast, with many different lived experiences: my own views and values arose of my unique and narrow experience, and therefor cannot possibly be projected onto, forced upon, or expected of others whose path I have not walked
