— Rabbi Hillel

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you don’t like when people lie to you because it makes you feel hurt and betrayed. This quote is saying that just as you dislike being lied to, you should avoid lying to others. Similarly, if you hate when someone is rude to you, then you shouldn’t be rude to others. The idea is to put yourself in other people's shoes and treat them the way you want to be treated. This simple rule helps us understand how to live a good and kind life. All other teachings and rules are just more details on how to live by this principle. So, next time you feel like doing something to someone else, think about how you would feel if it was done to you, and if it would hurt you, avoid doing it.
