Alternatively (to the quote/image), the Golden Rule without the Silver Rule is meaningless if not interfering, imposing, intrusive, invading, etc. As a reminder...
GOLDEN RULE; therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them (Mt 7:12 KJV), or do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
SILVER RULE; therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should NOT do to you, NOT do ye even so to them, or do NOT unto others as you would have them do NOT unto you.
Regularly forgotten is the former's implication of the latter's truism and absolute, of course to mean a mutuality tolerable, acceptable, desirable that is to say, consensual. For often Golden Rule advocates presume what is "good" to do is also "good" to enforce, thereby ignoring even trampling the Silver Rule.
