I try to use a simple mantra as the highest too level ideal to strive for - just don't be a dick. simple but flexible. I break it all the time, but generally by not thinking, so it's a good way to add little markers to my life to remind me that hey my dude think for a second and be a good person.
for the record I think I mostly achieve it. as someone with a healthy dose of autism/adhd it's sometimes useful to realise by putting something off or not having that chat with a friend actually you might be being a dick, because I'm not always aware of things outside my own small bubble.
it's also useful when someone is annoying or hurtful as a simple start point for analysing intentions. are they taking a joke a little too far but not intending to actually hurt? do they not realise what they are doing? or are they just being a dick.
