DarkColoredLight Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Justice - The quality of being just or fair; The act of determining rights and assigning rewards or punishments; Fair or right treatment or action. Fortitude - Strength of mind that enables one to endure adversity with courage; A quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear; Strength to face danger or take on challenges Prudence - Knowing how to avoid embarrassment or distress; Foresight that leads to the avoidance of danger or error Temperance - The trait of avoiding excesse; The practice of moderation These are the cardinal virtues for those of us who didn't already know. I've been trying to really make sense of them by appling them to the infinity sign where:()()Red=past/hindsight/temperancePurple=present/fortitudeBlue=future/prudence and the sum of all parts = Justice/infinity Also by applying them to the triangle where:side A=temperanceside B=fortitudeside C=prudence and the triangle as a whole = Justice I'm interesting in seeing how other might mentally connect the virtues and to see if where I've gone with this idea, well, makes any sense. If I am making sense we might discuss how some of the virtues, at least to me, seem to contradict themselves. But, at the same time and nearly all the same.
