"Fulfilling expectations"; i.e., doing what is expected by the definer --- no matter how domineering or mis-informed the definer may be.l 2. "Behaving in standard-ways"; i.e., conforming to traditional communal expectations which "everybody" expects, rather than behaving in spontaneous, creative, contextually-appropriate and/or imaginative ways. 3. "Behaving in trust-worthy-ways"; i.e., behaving in creative ways which transcend prescriptions, proscriptions, expectations, commandments --- in doing what is best for all within each moment and context which may be surprising, unanticipated, unpredictable, etc. 4. Properly refraining-from taking-advantage-of and/or actively compensating-for: the weaknesses, defects, mistakes, etc. of whoever makes judgments about vulnerable people's "reliability" and/or their "being- trust-worthy".
