The Pursuit of Virtue

This chapter delves into the teachings of Cicero on cardinal virtues like courage, temperance, justice, and prudence, illustrating their interconnectedness in personal growth. It contrasts these virtues with modern societal issues, particularly during the Christmas season, highlighting the dangers of consumerism and superficiality. The discussion also emphasizes self-discipline, critiques media's portrayal of goodness, and uses Scrooge's story to demonstrate how life crises can awaken one's moral awareness.
