RJB:
<<And yet this formulation is entirely God-centered in both aspects.
What about our fellow man? Hillel and Shimon haTzadik would disagree
with an entirely God-centered formulation, I think.>>
RAM:
<<Of course, this has been done before, as RJB quoted Hillel (Gemara
Shabbos 31a).>>
Look at Rashi there (s.v. "D'alach sanei ..."); you'll see that
it's ambiguously phrased -- it could be construed as God-centered or
human-centered.
