Oh sure, you reference it in your notes at the bottom. But that's no better than what I can find at Wikipedia or half a dozen other pages. You still don't provide the full passage in the excerpts higher up .......... WHY??!!<br /><br />What gives? You were my last hope. I've already Googled my eyes out for the whole story, and this is the most "complete" page on this tale on the Web.<br /><br />What gives? Is the golden rule copyrighted?! You've given us the equivalent of Hamlet without "To be or not to be". Thanks a lot. The chief claim to fame of this story is its earliest formulation of the golden rule -- and you don't even have the passage!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />I thought I would eventually find the whole text on the Web. Didn't. Yours is the most "complete" one out there -- and it doesn't include the chief passage for which I and virtually all others would be interested in this tale in the first place!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Believe me, I am well aware of the bitter irony that in searching desperately for this earliest formulation of the golden rule, I am violating its tenets by being so profoundly disagreeable here. But I'm frankly shattered by this brick wall. Having Googled to distraction, I can assure you that you are definitely the last chance I had to find the whole text. There is no other page remotely like yours. That's it. Curtains.<br /><br />So thanks a lot. If you have a good reason for not including THIS KEY PASSAGE, for crying out loud, I really want to know.<br /><br />Devastated in ManhattanLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367192187098830794noreply@blogger.com
