Just for fun I decided to view these seven virtues
against the back-drop of current world events. Each brain has its own
perspective of these seven virtues.
·
Prudence
from prudentia
meaning "seeing ahead, sagacity") is the ability to govern and
discipline oneself by the use of reason.
·
Justice
is the virtue which regulates humans in their dealings with others. Connected
to justice are the virtues of gratitutde, piety, and religion.
·
Fortitude that Thomas Aquinas ranks third after prudence and justice and equates with brave endurance.
Patience and perseverance are qualities (or virtues) related to fortitude.
·
Temperance
is the virtue which moderates in accordance with reason the desires and
pleasures of the sensuous appetite. Related to temperance are the virtues of
continence, humility, and meekness.
More tomorrow.
