"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you",

from "The Analects of Confucius". It means don’t impose on others what you don’t want. What this sentence reveals is an important principle for dealing with interpersonal relationships. What Confucius said is that people should treat others based on their own behavior. People should have a broad mind and never be narrow-minded when dealing with others. Instead, they should be magnanimous and tolerant. If you force others to do what you don't want, it will not only damage the relationship with others, but also make things stalemate and get out of hand. This principle should indeed be adhered to in interactions between people. This is a reflection of respecting others and treating others equally.
