Understanding Virtues
Virtues are defined as habitual and firm dispositions to do the good, which empowers individuals to not only perform good acts but to also give the best of themselves. This involves a consistent practice of choosing good actions in various circumstances, distinguishing virtue from merely occasional good deeds. The concept emphasizes that developing a virtuous character requires stability and a firm attitude, characterized by the habitual perfection of intellect and will. The goal is to govern one’s actions and passions through reason and faith, enabling individuals to live a morally good life with ease, self-mastery, and joy.
