If you're paying attention to human history no such pact exists between humans either. Do to others as you want others to do to you.

If you're a social justice historian, you might recall all the idiotic discussions about the rationality and intelligence of certain humans, too (when certain humans wanted their freedom and equality). Victimizers and oppressors always deny that victims suffer, feel pain or are intelligent. This allows enslavement and murder to happen nonchalantly and guilt-free. The victimizers' mind-set goes like this: "You don't count because you're stupid. You don't matter because you're dumb. I laugh at your suffering. I'll kill you when I want to. I'll sell you and your family. You're worthless. You don't think the way I do. Prove to me why I should be kind to you. Prove to me that you deserve to be free." So even though victims always look and act differently from each other (bees, lobsters, cows, pigs, blacks, women, Christians, Muslims, Jews, witches, Gypsies, Rwandans, etc.), they've suffered equally because of the victimizers' mind-set. It's so trite that a few enlightened folks have to continually explain why the majority of people shouldn't be enslaving and murdering innocents en masse. Something else that has always bothered me: Why do oppressors think they're more important than THE OPPRESSED? Why do tormentors believe they're more important than THE TORMENTED? What kind of sociopath thinks murderers are more important than THE MURDERED?
