Being a "good person" doesn't matter.

Power uses hierarchies for control & influence. I think morals conceptualized within environments of power are tainted in similarly unhelpful ways. We focus on being “good” or “not bad”, while people & situations are demoted to context. Disassociating us from the greater responsibility found in being present, in relationship with, in bidirectional feedback looping with others.

Here you'll find how I’ve come to think being “good” doesn’t matter, & what I’m attempting to replace it with.
