I like the Inverse Golden Rule - Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you.

That's the Silver Rule: "That which is hateful to you, do not do to others."

Sometimes reformulated as "An it harm none, do as ye list."

Using this rule

A suicidal person can say "I don't want other people to save me from dying therefore I will not stop others from dying."

A rich person can say "I do not want charity from others therefore I will not give charity to others."
