Ethic Rules

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and the Silver Rule: Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you, are ethic rule of universal reach.
The base of the ethical behavior is the empathy, a faculty of the spirit.
The base of Justice is the desire for happiness, instead the base of the ethic rules is the desire for the good. Justice is not enough.
Happiness is a result of the ethical behavior not a goal, these ethical principles have a property: the minimization of the suffering, as a result, happiness arises.
"Always act with principles", this is known as righteous life, we all have a ranking of righteousness, the goal of ethics is the life in common, or communion, the common good, the integrity.
The Law of the Return complements the previous rules as a law of balance
