Question:my reality is a virtue


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: my reality is a virtue

Oh my good God knows my virtues are wisps of smoke mixed in the tendrils of morning fogs.
You can't see them for the reality of the world.

I'm Virtuous. ..
no ..wait. I think I meant virtueless.

In the modern world it is becoming smaller and less important as society Judges you on material accumulation and success. There are new societal virtues that are admired and these new virtues are at odd with the old, chivalric ones. Chivalry is dead.

All virtues are a reality.

We for our virtues from what people perceive us as and what we hear over and over. If lets say a kid hears over and over that they are kind and helpful it is very likely that they will grow up to be that and whats more they will choose a profession to reflect that. Weather its a reality or not its hard to tell because we were shaped by the society's perception of us.

Was it Socrates or Aristotle who said that virtue cannot be defined?.....

Unfortunately, yes...like a badge of honor.

More like a virtual reality! LOL!

No, I'm female, my virture is imaginary.

Yes, here is why:

"Every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly . . . just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero . . . To withhold your contempt from men's vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement."
