Maybe it does come back to what you say – a crude neutralizing of
equation.  Maybe it is connected to the Golden Rule – do unto others
as you would have them do unto you. Most other religions or
philosophies have some similar sort of rule phrased a bit
differently.
If not connected to something prescribed then natural law really is
about realigning a sense of acceptable power between people.  Maybe as
a species people do have an innate sense of acceptable power limits in
that respect regardless of culture and history.  I have sometimes
wondered if my own tendency to not taking revenge is actually a
behaviour or attitude in myself that makes me a bit defective in
comparison to others.
