# Behavior.md: Life's Editable Script

## The Plain Source of Who We Are

Our behavior is like the raw text in a Markdown file—unpolished words and actions, side by side, without fanfare. It's the quiet choices we make each day: a kind word to a stranger, a pause before reacting, or the steady rhythm of a morning walk. No hidden layers or flashy effects. Just us, showing up as we are. In this simplicity lies power. Unlike encrypted code or ornate prose, behavior.md is open for anyone to read—and edit.

## Rendering the Life We Live

When we "render" our behavior, it becomes the story others see. A single patient response in traffic doesn't stay flat text; it shapes the page of our relationships. Over time, these lines compile into character: reliable, gentle, bold. On this winter day in 2025, with frost tracing windows, I watch my own script unfold—a cup of tea shared, a letter written. It's not perfection, but presence. Markdown teaches us this: small formatting turns chaos into clarity.

## Committing to Better Versions

Change happens in commits, not overhauls. Tweak one habit, save, and preview:

- Replace scrolling with listening.
- Swap rush with breath.
- Turn complaint into curiosity.

Each update refines the render. We're all authors of our behavior.md, versioning toward something truer.

*In the end, the best files are those reread with a smile.*
