The "Golden Rule" exists in both positive form, generally stated as,
and in negative form, sometimes called the "Silver Rule",
The Golden Rule should be regarded as the less valuable form, since an ignorance person may act unethically on it's behalf; whereas the negative form stops ignorant behavior.
One's 'heart' directs action, so for the Golden Rule to be considered equal or superior to the Silver Rule the heart must be unbiased by self ('pure').
Matthew
