The literal form of the golden rule says: "If you want X to do A to you, then do A to X." To this one might object that then

    { 1 } - if you were a little boy who loved to fight and who wanted your sister to fight with you, then you'd have to fight with her.
    { 2 } - if you were a parent who wanted your child to refrain from punishing you, then you'd have to refrain from punishing your child.
    { 3 } - both of the above.

3 is correct!

The literal form of the golden rule says: "If you want X to do A to you, then do A to X." To this one might object that then

    { 1 } - if you were a little boy who loved to fight and who wanted your sister to fight with you, then you'd have to fight with her.
    { 2 } - if you were a parent who wanted your child to refrain from punishing you, then you'd have to refrain from punishing your child.
    { 3 } - both of the above.

To avoid these and other objections, we need to formulate and understand the golden rule in a more sophisticated manner.
