What is virtue and why strive towards it?

Technically virtue means “man” (human). So the art of manliness or virtue is the art of being an exemplary human being. But what makes an exemplary human being? Obviously you can choose for yourself: the attributes, characteristics, and values you deem worthy of yourself. That is your virtue.

What do you value?

For myself I value courage, audacity, and thinking big.

Why virtue?

I like virtue because it is something you have 100% control over. You cannot dictate many external conditions of your life, but you can control how you act, you can control your character, and you can dictate how courageous and audacious you desire to be in life.

Virtue never dies
