> why should we consider the Golden Rule moral.

An argument for the morality of the Golden Rule (c):
1)  It is moral to act appropriately towards people (e.g., reward those who deserve rewards, punish those who deserve punishment).
2)  :. I am acting morally if I act appropriately towards other people.
3)  :. Other people are acting morally if they act appropriately towards me.
4)  :. I am acting morally if I act towards other people as they are acting when they act appropriately towards me.
5)  :. It is moral to act according to the Golden Rule.
