Decency

Morality, ethics and religion give us many admirable characteristics to aim for in our lives. But, for me, the most reliably useful is decency. Decency is ordinary in its goodness. Decency is not an arrogant virtue. Decency is the virtue of the unsung hero, the individual going about living life with a purpose that embraces the self and others. Decency accepts the human stumble and enables forgiving the self and others by getting up and continuing to live a life of good.
