Poetically and imperfectly:
Being good sort of boils down to being radically street-smarts constructive as if you might bump into every person you ever meet in your life, ever again, over and over again, forever. And knowing this down into your bones. Being good is self-knowledge and strategic learning and global strategy in a way that makes your heart sing.

Ken Wilber would say something like, there’s something timeless about enlightenment that is true in any human age, and, also, enlightenment evolves: “The Buddha couldn’t drive a Jeep.”
We will never stop learning how to be more and more good to each other, whether in quiet, intimate moments or collaborating on non-dystopian, beautiful, humane global megaprojects.

Strive to be truly good all the way down for selfish reasons. It’s the optimal solution to many self-interested life problems.

Sometimes an “enlightened” person will have unprocessed blindspots. But, also, even a “fully enlightened” person (no technical debt) can be ignorant of “relevant unknown unknowns” (sort of by definition). And both cases can produce “sex scandals” or other badness/destructiveness.

So to be as good/harmless/benevolent/constructive/creative/effective/loving a person one can be, one has to keep voraciously learning and doing (and meditating, if just living “post-enlightenment” isn’t enough to “auto-process” continuously accumulating technical debt).
