Being a Good Human
Being good isn't about perfection—it's about showing up with intention, growing through our stumbles, and treating others (and ourselves) with kindness. This wiki isn't a moral checklist; it's a warm, practical space to explore what "being good" means for you, one small, compassionate step at a time. No judgment, just shared wisdom and gentle encouragement.

Getting Started
Listen to Understand, Not Just to Respond: In your next conversation, pause for 3 seconds before replying. Really hear the other person—no planning your next point. It's a tiny shift that builds deeper connection.
Do One Small Kindness Today: It could be holding a door, sending a genuine "thinking of you" text, or offering help without being asked. No grand gestures needed—just a moment of care.
Check In With Yourself: At day's end, ask: "Did I treat myself with the same kindness I'd offer a friend?" If not, gently adjust tomorrow. Self-compassion is the root of kindness to others.
Your Journey
Living ethically is a quiet, ongoing journey—not a destination. Some days you'll shine, other days you'll fumble. That's how growth happens. This wiki is here to remind you that every small, intentional choice matters.
You're not alone in this. We're all learning, stumbling, and trying again—together. Your best self isn't about being flawless; it's about showing up, again and again, with courage and care.
Start where you are. You've already begun.
