Some basic teachings of Jesus Christ that are apropos today and always:

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love one another as “I have loved you.” Love your neighbor as yourself. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. As you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me.
