The Japanese have this term “intoku (陰徳)” which roughly translates to good deeds done in secret. What are some examples of intoku in your own life? Doesn’t matter even if it’s something minor like picking up trash.

    Contributing to open street map. I have mapped over 400 benches that I won’t sit on.

    I just like an idea that someday someone will ask a map “where is a closest bench?” And it will just show it.

    Most things I don’t help in secret tho.

      that I won’t sit on

      Because they’re dirty or something?

      I know a few trails that I’d like to add to Open Street Maps because they’re not included but I don’t know how to do it. Can anyone do it or do I need to be verified in some way first?

        Just like Wikipedia, Opens Street Map can be edited by anyone. You just need an account.

        There are multiple editors to use but most beginner friendly are iD that can be used on openstreetmap.org under the button “Edit” or Street Complete that can be installed on your smartphone.
