Do no harm

I was thinking it would be kind of cool if there was something like the Hippocratic Oath, but for everyday life. I was falsely under the impression that the Hippocratic Oath says "do no harm," but I was wrong. Either way, I was thinking there should be an oath like that. But then I thought, why not just exactly that? Do no harm. I feel like that perfectly sums up how to be an adult, a co-worker, a spouse, a citizen, a student, a human. Do no harm. Don't hurt people. Don't cause pain. Don't be abusive. Don't be mean. Don't cheat, steal, rape, kill, pillage, plunder. Don't be a dick.
I feel like a good starting point for introductory bipedal primate morality would be just that: Do no harm. Everything follows from that. #psychology
