I thought it was obvious.And if you looked at Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Athenian philosophy, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, they universally espouse the value of virtue. Without exception.
And what we are discussing is virtue versus no virtue. Not different flavors or perceptions of virtue, but virtue against the lack of virtue. The antithesis. The diametric opposition to this behavior.
honest vs dishonest
caring vs cruel
loving vs hateful
selfless vs selfish
humble vs arrogant
thankful vs thankless
Given these two extremes the outcomes of these behaviors should be pretty self evident. Even to you two.
I still haven’t found you making any connection to virtue=success.
I’ll require more cutting and pasting. On with it.
Which description do you think would have more success in life.
A people who were dishonest, cruel, hateful, selfish, arrogant, thankless assholes.
or
A people who were honest, caring, loving, selfless and thankful?
