Right view
"Friend, how many conditions are there for the arising of right view?"

"Friend, there are two conditions for the arising of right view: the voice of another and appropriate attention. These are the two conditions for the arising of right view."

"And assisted by how many factors does right view have awareness-release as its fruit & reward, and discernment-release as its fruit & reward?"

"Assisted by five factors, right view has awareness-release as its fruit & reward, and discernment-release as its fruit & reward. There is the case where right view is assisted by virtue, assisted by learning, assisted by discussion, assisted by tranquility, assisted by insight. Assisted by these five factors, right view has awareness-release as its fruit & reward, and discernment-release as its fruit & reward

"'One of right view, one of right view' is said, friends. In what way is a noble disciple one of right view, whose view is straight, who has perfect confidence in the Dhamma, and has arrived at this true Dhamma?"

cetovimuttiphalā and paññāvimuttiphalā is the pali.
In the notes to his Majjhima Nikaya translation, Bhikkhu Bodhi renders these as "deliverance of mind" (because it is liberated from lust), and "deliverance by wisdom" (because it is liberated from ignorance).
Both are fruits of Arahantship.

Do you want to avoid misery and have well being? If you do this is right view. As a Buddhist you probably know from experience what leads to well being. I personally forget sometimes that the Dhamma was taught to lead to ever increasing states of happiness. Good to keep this notion in your practice.
Take care of mindfulness and mindfulness will take care of you.
