Moral philosophy sorts every act into four boxes — obligatory, forbidden, permissible and supererogatory — and you can derive the box from two questions about blame and one about praise. Pick an act, answer the three, and watch it land. Watch the last meter especially: confusing the supererogatory with the obligatory is epidemic in caring professions.
