Golden Rule Week is observed April 1-7. The Golden Rule is actually a Bible Principle that can be found in several places. Luke 6:31 states "Treat others the same way you want them to treat you".
Even if you do not believe in God, and the Bible, I think that everyone can agree that this is just a great personal rule to live by!
