How to Be Decent?

Folk #1: You know, I don't think it's that hard. What does it take to be a decent Human Being? Kindness, gentleness, awareness, a sense of responsibility, doing what you said you were gonna do, basically, being reliable, truthful, feet on the ground, open to learning, being curious about the world and other people, being creative, improvisational, willing to admit you are wrong when you are wrong, willing to change your mind in the face of evidence & reality, being humble, willing to help others, trying your best to do a good job, staying busy & engaged, being vigiliant about your biases, your prejudices, your blind-spots, keeping your shit together, guarding against your own bloated sense of importance, learning from Nature, spending time mediating, or contemplating the passing scene, taking care of yourself and others. Leaning to the Light, finding meaning in your Life & the Universe. Sure, it's a day to day proposition. Never take anything for granted. Watch your step, always hold the rail going down the stairs, be careful to nuture yourself with good food, drink, being super-vigilant about the drugs you put into your body. Hone a reliable sense of humor, don't take it all too seriously. It's Life. A Life. Do your best.
