Like I said, my question is genuine and I apologize if I soured the good #nostr Para vida vibes. But, the question is an existential one: How do we determine whether our worldview represents harm or help to those we bring it to?

I once found a turtle in the middle of a small bridge road. I stopped in traffic and picked it up knowing I was going to a place with a creek where many turtles lived. When I arrived I released the turtle to its new home and congratulated myself. Later though, it occurred to me that the turtle may never see its companions or young ever again. Perhaps it had laid eggs nearby. Perhaps it was adapted to a diet found only in its microenvironment. Still haunts me. I think I ruined that turtle’s life (or saved it). 🤷‍♂️
