The rule has been mentioned by which you are enabled
to judge of pains & pleasures experienced by another, namely by
changing positions with him. Thus to
To avoid giving useless offence or uneasy pain on the occasion
of any thing you are about to do or to say in relation
to any individual, think in the first place in what manner if
said or done in relation to yourself, it would affect yourself: if
if to yourself it would be a matter of indifference, think then
whether between your situation and his there may not be some
difference the effect of which may be to render painful to him
what would not be so to you.

The best general law ordinary rule is to assume equality –
to make equality the Law of general application – exceptional
variations growing out of difference of position must
be applied to the particular cases as they occur.
There may be cases where the peculiar character of
the individual likely to be offended – makes him less
susceptible of pain than in ordinary persons – but
safety is on the side of forbearance.
