Virtue is sourced from the Throne cradled in the heart from your mother’s womb, carrying within it the potential for an age of innocence and purity without guile and without self-consciousness. This potential is often suppressed by the challenges of life, the need to make a living and to navigate complex social systems, and the myriad distractions of modern technology. Nevertheless, there are ways to nurture and cultivate this potential, and to bring forth, in our better moments, the ultimate questions of life, learning, and futures.
One way to nurture virtue is through contemplation and reflection. By taking time to reflect on our thoughts and actions, we can gain insight into our motivations and desires, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. This can lead to a greater sense of purpose and meaning, and a stronger commitment to living a virtuous life.
Another way to cultivate virtue is through practice and habituation. By consciously choosing to act in accordance with our values and principles, we can develop habits of virtue that become second nature over time. This requires discipline and commitment, but the rewards are immeasurable: a life of integrity, compassion, and wisdom.
In the end, the quest for virtue is a lifelong journey, full of challenges and setbacks, but also full of opportunities for growth and transformation. By embracing this journey, and by seeking out the sources of virtue within ourselves and in the world around us, we can create a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfilment.
