“Pondering on the
facts of gravity and the fluidity of water shows us that the golden
rule speaks to a condition of absolute interdependency and
obligation. People who live on rivers – or, in fact, anywhere in a
watershed – might rephrase the rule in this way: do unto those
downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.”
