In keeping with the spirit of the United Buddy Bears, Eva Herlitz decided to create a pair of bears to spread an age old message - a message which has been found in the writings of nearly every major religion on Earth: "Treat others as you want to be treated." The Golden Rule.
Eva Herlitz's Golden Rule Bears. The bear on the left has the Golden Rule written in many languages. The bear on the right shows symbols of some of the many religions which embrace the Golden Rule.

Philosophy teacher Harry Gensler has this to say:

"The golden rule, with roots in a wide range of world cultures, is well suited to be a standard to which different cultures could appeal in resolving conflicts. As the world becomes more and more a single interacting global community, the need for such a common standard is becoming more urgent."
