My attempted is-ought bridge--I think I figured out what's wrong with it, but you let me know.
1. Hurting others causes mental, emotional and physical suffering.
2. I do not need to hurt others.
3. The person being hurt will experience more suffering than I will satisfaction.
4. I care about others.
5. I do not hurt those I care about.
-------------
I ought not to hurt others.
It can even be simplified to this.
1. I care about others.
2. I do not need to hurt others.
3. Needless hurting betrays my care for others.
-------------
I ought not to hurt others.
In that circle is all of humanity's wisdom.
