The Record of Right Action

The structured journal of this discipline. Sixteen fields carry one event from first impression to appropriate action. Everything here is private, for your eyes only, and persists between visits.

Back to lesson 16: Moral Relapse Without Self-Deception

The Situation

What is factually the case. Camera language only.

What is truly morally at stake here.

What you know, what you add, and what remains unknown.

Those Involved

Who is affected, including those without a voice.

Which roles, promises, and duties are relevant.

The Examination

Which desire, fear, status, or expected return is pulling.

What wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance each ask, and how they correct one another.

The Action

The act, including timing, tone, and limit.

Afterwards

Filled in afterwards: what actually happened.

Filled in afterwards: what needed repair, and what you did.

Filled in afterwards: what you will practise next.
