It seems rudimentary & left wanting to say as the golden rule:
“ whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” (KJV)

Think of a sick, perverted person mistreating others because they would like that. Such a rule to treat others as YOU would like, is self-centered & geared to the understanding of a child.

It takes more empathy, consideration & maturity to consider what that person needs or even better what God “would.”
