Question: What is your favorite virtue!?
Can be in you or in others, if you had to pick your very favorite virtue, or quality of someone who is virtuous, what would it be!?
If you have a hard time picking one, I guess you can name your top 3!.
The one that comes to me at the moment is either Kindness or Wisdom!.!.!. probably a tie there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably wisdom, because with wisdom you naturally must know to have kindness, patience and honesty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
For me it is humility coupled with courage of conviction!.!.!.!.!.!. these lead to truth, honesty and compassion!. However, it is very rare to find humility combined with courage in any single individual!.!.!.!. I think one example is Gandhi, whatever I can make out from his autobiography, which came out quite well in the movie too!.
Come to think of it, wisdom leads to humility and courage of conviction which in turn lead to truth, honesty and compassion or kindness towards all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well I guess mine is curiousity, I can't tell you for certian what all the other posts have said are virtues or if they even qualify, I myself am not exactly sure what can be considered a virtue or why it something should be called a virtue!. Many seem to think that it is an easy question but I am having trouble finding where to start in finding such answers!. It seems at first glance that philosophy is a poor choice because one could study for a lifetime and still find that they are no closer to an answer then when the began their search and yet it is this very thing that to me makes philosophy so interesting!.
It would seem that the only thing that I could come close to counting as a virtue in myself is curiousity as I believe that perhaps being that I am curious I might continue to search for what qualities make something a virtue and why is that virtue should be considered important!.
I look forward to learning more about what others have to say about the subject and I hope that I am able to come away a better person for having learned about their insights!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Kindredness, kindness is at times a benevolence leaving the recipient thereof beholden!.
Wisdom indeed releases man from the confusion, ignorance and alienation that causes hatefulness and fear!.
Love, beautiful human beings who have the capacity to love all unequivocally have my utmost respect!. Those noble and wise creatures of the highest heaven shaming the incongruously self serving and loathsome without effort!.
Peace Love Wisdom!. I am told blessing and endearments do not become me, but I bless your cup to wine and your lamp to oil, your heart with love and your days with sunshine !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
