Just remember the old Golden Rule and do unto others as you would have them do unto you

I do not understand why 'golden rule' is capitalized when there are so many important rules out there. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

'Golden Rule' is being treated as a proper name.

Some rules have names, some don't.
