I like @Alfred
Doesn't get involved in anything unless he's asked to, always polite and tries to be helpful, admits his mistakes when he gets things wrong..

We should probably all strive to be more like @Alfred

@66ALW99 I actually think "not getting involved in anything unless asked" would be a really awful trait for a person to have... and it would be *disastrous* if everyone had that trait.

To give a straightforward/simple example, people who do evil things need to be called out - but if someone only ever gets involved in anything when asked, they will be passive to the Nth degree and sit idly/silently by... even as evil inflicts catastrophic harm.

@66ALW99 To give a murkier example, reminding people who are engaging in self-destructive behaviours of the risks and consequences associated with their actions can sometimes prompt them to modify/stop those behaviours... but self-destructive people almost never want such reminders, since they're uncomfortable.

If everyone just "minded their own business" & kept their mouths shut, a self-destructive person in a fatal downward spiral might never get a "wakeup call" that could save their life.
