A short Ma’at meditation on virtue, truth, and the discipline of right living.

Meditation LXXII 1 minute read 111 words

Do good for its own sake, not for praise or gain.
A righteous act loses grace if done for show.
The hidden good you do, the kindness no one sees – these are the purest offerings to Ma’at.
The wind does not applaud the tree for giving shade, yet the traveler is still comforted.
Do right even when no reward is in sight; that is when virtue truly lives.
Fame is fickle and gold loses its luster, but quiet goodness endures in the heart.
The soul nourished by virtue needs no audience.
Be your own witness to your integrity, and let that be enough.
