✦ MADE SIMPLE

All those commandments — don't cheat on your partner, don't kill people, don't steal, don't lie about others, don't be jealous of what they have — basically every rule God gave us can be summed up in one thing: love your neighbor the same way you love yourself.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Every commandment basically boils down to this: treat others the way you want to be treated.
