It is a positive one. Because the narrator still referred to the subject as JAMIL meaning beautiful (aesthetics) kind (spiritual) so unless it is sarcastic or a reverse meaning......that the suject isn't nice. I still believe it gives the benefit of the doubt at least literally. And doesn't insult but advises. You are still pretty(kind). But if you should take view of me in a negative fashion. you will receive like treatment?? BRAVO. BRAVo to the creator of this game.

In german the proverb is positif or negatif, it's up to you. Maybe it's more this: 'Do to others what you want them do to you' Fatima / Germany
