Humata - Good Thoughts
The first pillar of Zoroastrian ethics: cultivating good thoughts.
Humata (good thoughts) is the first of the threefold ethical path. Right action begins in the mind. By cultivating thoughts of truth, compassion, and righteousness, one sets the foundation for good words and deeds.
Good thoughts lead to good words, which lead to good deeds.
The sequence begins with thought because action starts in the mind.
