After writing Golden Rules those years ago, I became more aware of performing what I& #39;d call micro-compassions (in contrast to micro-aggressions). These are small, often unseen or unnoticed ways of making the world a better place. 1/7
I& #39;m convinced that these small moments are essential to ethical living.
Bouncing off Golden Rules, I now clean the toilet seat in single-use restrooms (like Starbucks) if there& #39;s pee on it even if I did not use the toilet. 2/7

It& #39;s a kindness to those who use the restroom after me. Micro-compassions can involve any number of small intentional kindnesses. Stuff like returning shopping carts to proper places. 3/7
When it comes to masking, I wear a mask outdoors even when not overtly necessary for my health or yours (because we are pretty sure the virus doesn& #39;t really spread through outdoor contact). 4/7
I work mornings on a sparsely populated patio outside my Starbucks. The nearest neighbor is more than 20 feet away. Still, I work at my easel in a mask as a micro-compassion. 5/7
The idea is this: the more people one sees wearing a mask, the more comfortable they will feel wearing a mask themselves, thereby generally promoting methods proven to reduce spread of this particular virus. 6/7
If I do a small thing like wear my mask at my patio table, I& #39;m working (incrementally) toward making our community healthier, which in turn works toward both its economic health and its psychological health (a healthy community sends its children back to school sooner). 7/7
