Here are 7 excellent examples of virtue, and my explainations of them based on my understanding:
* Patience (valuing the scarse time people have to a point of wisdom - knowing that there is a time/place season for all good things under heaven Ecc 3:1).
* Temperment (valuing appropiate balance in things - too much of a good thing can be a bad thing - example: food)
* Humility (not prioritizing anyone's ego above anothers, as Pride normally comes before the fall).
* Charity (generous giving of goods/services of a positive nature, making the world and others a better place. Quote, "Charity is the Pure love of Christ")
* Compassion/Kindness (example: turning the other cheek when insulted, showing love and forgiveness towards others after believing in an appropiate change of heart that has happened towards them; giving people the benefit of the doubt, generally. This doesn't mean people have to be victums either in exercising this virtue; as sometimes smart boundries should exist until the safe conditions are met to be friendly - this is showing self love).
* Chastity and Family values (valuing sex when appropiate within the bounds of marriage, as well as positive parenting - if there are kids produced from that).
* Diligence (valuing progress and productivity; creating wealth or laboring for something of value, putting your shoulder to the wheel, doing an honest day's work in that).
