Abstract
The article offers an analysis of the genesis of the Golden Rule of morality and an overview of its initial historical evidence. Based on written sources from ancient cultural monuments, the authors conduct a comparative analysis of the general in the ethical assessment of human behavior, actions, and deeds. The fundamental idea of the Golden Rule is treating others as one wishes to be treated. However, its application in specific situations may necessitate considering the distinctiveness of the situation and its participants. What may be right in one culture or religion may not be in others, necessitating a skillful understanding of the context and details of each case. The Golden Rule can serve as a universal principle applicable in any situation but it requires flexibility and the ability to account for each situation's unique aspects to achieve the best outcome for everyone involved.
