The Implicit Commandment

Posted by TheBigHenry at 9/16/2007

Hillel's "Golden Rule", the passive statement of the ethic of reciprocity, anticipated it:

'What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.'

Tolstoy's Epigraph for Anna Karenina alluded to it:

'Vengeance is mine; I will repay.'

Little Boy and Fat Man were its metaphoric expression. It is the Implicit Commandment:

'Thou shalt not f*ck with America.'
