Question:

Would you rather have a STALE VIRTUE or a STIMULATING VICE?

:-)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think a stimulating vice is more interesting, even to God. It at least means I'm alive and kicking and have potential to change, possibly confronting that vice and awakening that virtue. A stale virtue goes nowhere, it just lies around unexpressed and languid. Such virtue itself might be classed as vice, if it is not renewed and enlivened.

[edit: Abraham Lincoln once said, "Show me a man who has no vices, and I'll show you a man who has damned few virtues."]
