I'm drawn to learning about all of the ins and outs, definitions and ideas around accountability. Accountably in different forms. What is isn't. all of it. It's really speaking to me this year.

"Character" has always confused me. Reading Jane Austen's novels helped a little because her unmarried heroines wanted men of "good character" as husbands. But Austen wasn't really clear on what that meant, and even her heroines made mistakes in assessing it (Elizabeth and Darcy, for example). Modern approaches are worse because they list dozens of attributes as part of character--who can live up to all of that all of the time? For example, see https://www.verywellmind.com/what-are-character-strengths-4843090

I think it's a wonderful topic for a newsletter. I look forward to your explorations as well as the thoughts of other commenters.
