I only gave it four stars because you left out the most important part of the quote: "What is hateful to you, do not do unto your neighbor, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study." Hillel did not say this was a commandment from God, only that it summarized Judaism. The story goes that Hillel was asked by a pagan to convert him to Judaism by summarizing the religion while standing on one foot. What makes the last line so important is that he is telling this man that in order to learn what the moral good in any given situation is, he would have to study and not rely on his heart. Love thy neighbor as yourself is a lofty goal, but how can you incorporate that into your life today? Wouldn't it be better to at least start with "What is hateful to you, do not do unto others." I think that if more people lived by that alone, this world would be much better off.
