Cultivating Studiousness and Virtues in Life Circumstances
It is essential to foster a habit of studiousness in spite of challenging life circumstances, such as a single mother working in a sweatshop. One must adapt their virtues to the circumstances rather than alter them. Studiousness involves a comparative approach, discerning between pursuing lesser and more important knowledge, seeking from proper sources, referring to God, and respecting personal limits. Balancing intellectual growth with practical responsibilities may require adjustments, but virtues like studiousness can still be cultivated.
