Character refunctions cover the universal principles found in many spiritual paths. Unlike other types of refunctions, you can personally restore wellness by applying these. Need-response utilizes these in a wellness campaign, when the campaigner exhausts all they can personally do to resolve the need behind their wellness goals.
Which do you perceive will be more effective?
Keep relying on impersonal rules and ideologies to try to fix our many problems.
OR
Try relying on universal ethical principles to resolve the needs behind problems.
You can find all twenty of these character qualities in various scriptures. You can also find correlations throughout history between application of these laudable traits and improved functioning, or wellness. Likewise, you can observe how the less these principles get applied, the lower the ability to function.
Each of these positive qualities exist independent of their subjective interpretation and application. While the context can be relatively cultural, the applicability of such universal principles will affect human functioning the same across all cultures and across time.
For example, the less one forthrightly provides all relevant information to address a need that impacts another (i.e., dishonest), the lack of this vital information will objectively diminish the impacted person's ability to fully function. In other words, the less honest, the more problems. Not because of any belief a problem will emerge but because relevant information is objectively necessary to make good decisions to addressing the objective reality of unchosen needs.
Need-response utilizes these qualities as "character refunctions" that each individual can apply with or without others. A refunction is anything that restores function. Elsewhere, we cover refunctions at the interpersonal, power, and structural levels.
Check out these character refunctions and how they can improve your life.

NR201 Social Need-Responder
You begin to develop these qualities soon after signing up for a wellness warmup exercise. You employ kindness, generosity, empathy, and humility. By simply offering to do something that someone requires, you cultivate trustworthiness, gratitude, honesty, and love.
Need-response is all about resolving needs, to remove cause for pain, and restore wellness. Both your needs and the needs of others you impact. And just think how it often begins simple enough with one of these basic qualities.
If not enough to solve a problem facing you, these help establish your moral foundation. The more you demonstrate such qualities, the more you can attract others to co-create a solution to almost any problem. Essentially, that's what a wellness campaign is all about.
