right conduct
Morally correct action
Right conduct is behavior that aligns with moral or ethical standards—doing what's considered good, proper, or just.
The phrase appears in philosophical and religious contexts discussing how one should act: Buddhism's Eightfold Path includes right conduct.
It implies not merely following rules but acting from genuine understanding of what's appropriate.
