Golden Rule????
The first transgression one accuses another of is that same transgression one will commit.
It seems that the innocent will view the criminal of making against them what they would do personally. This is a reversal or revision of the Golden Rule. The new version is: "Accuse of others what you would do to them."
On major crimes, you and I cannot quite understand and are horrified by a charge of...
On personal note... I am by no means innocent. Over many years I have done things, never career threatening, but maybe a bit unkind. Never have I been so charged with these specifics. However, at times I've been accused of faults and actions I would never myself commit, but believe my accuser would - and has.
We see such accusations (including murder and robbery) in the literature in many forms and many guises. We see this in politics. We see this in religion. We see this in day-to-day interactions with co-workers. Sadly, we see this within families.
In this note, we consider only "little" but legal crimes, but they do occur in vast numbers and can be as deadly as the big ones as they affect individual lives. To the victim, they are unmistakably, irreversibly, irrevocably, and incontrovertibly big.

On major crimes, you and I cannot quite understand and are horrified by a charge of...
- Murder, because you just could not do it.
- Bank robbery, because you would not do it.
- Child molestation, because this is abhorrent.
- Stock price manipulation, because it is wrong.
This is what makes these charges so interesting, so sensational, and so downright riveting on news broadcasts. But there are minor crimes you could do and see as possible, partly because you, yourself, could commit them. Crimes of rumor, gossip, and innuendo are a part of these.
