People aspire a lot. I think one important aspiration is to live as a decent human. But what does decent mean to you?

Decency comes from lack of neediness for me. If one really desperately needs respect, approval, material pleasures, etc. then they will manipulate others or get manipulated into doing things in order to obtain that which is needed. All good deeds will mask a hidden expectation. Or one can be outright terrible and take things by force.

How can you not be needy? When you surrender to God or Universal process or that which is infinitely larger and intelligent than yourself. Is everyone needy and therefore not decent? Yes. It is a struggle and that's why it is an aspiration as you said.
