That seems a small thing, right? Be reasonable. Ben Franklin would ask us to be temperate. To pause. To reflect. To consider.

To be reasonable is to be the best version of self today, and to continue to work toward the best version of self for tomorrow. And when we fall short, because we will, to own our actions, take a pause, and make it right.

It isn't hard to be reasonable, but it takes a sense of vulnerability and consideration.
