Goodwill
Seven Core Values • Compassion • Correcting Time • Cooperative Spirit • Spiritual Benevolence

Definition:
Goodwill is the sincere desire for the well-being, happiness, growth, and flourishing of others, expressed through kind intentions, friendly attitudes, and constructive actions.
In the teachings of the Correcting Time, Daniel Raphael, and Machiventa Melchizedek, goodwill is seen as a relational virtue rooted in love, empathy, and moral integrity, forming the emotional atmosphere necessary for stable families, healthy communities, and sustainable societies.

Goodwill is the quiet inner orientation that says:
“May you thrive. May you be at peace. May you grow. May you be blessed.”
—and then acts accordingly.
