"All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor harm another."
-The Buddha, spoken in the Dhammapada.

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
This is a very basic premise of all spiritual paths.

It's an acknowledgement that we all are extremely similar.

All beings have an instinct towards self-preservation, to protect one's life and to prevent oneself from being harmed.

So we all have the same view.

We're not so different, and maybe in our day-to-day lives we see the differences, we can compare ourselves, we may be competitive, we may be jealous, we may think we're superior to others, but this teaching by the Buddha is a strong reminder that what we have in common is much more fundamental than our differences.
