Check, please

Do I act with compassion?  CHECK!
...Focus on how all sentient beings interwine with each other & the environment?  CHECK!
...Seek harmony within all relationships, including with non-humans & non-sentient?  CHECK!
...Relieve sufferings & impart joy with all beings ("all" means ALL)  CHECK!
...Contribute to the welfare of my family, community, nation, universe?  CHECK!
...Embrace Ahimsa?  CHECK!
...Act for world peace?  CHECK!
...Support rights for all living beings & things?  CHECK!
...Consider myself a global citizen, with all the rights & privileges that brings?  CHECK!

Glory be!  Turns out I'm a humanistic Buddhist.  Who knew?
