The Virtue Continuum


I really like this idea. Naturally, it's fairly easy to fall into most of these vices, but it's also possible to over-correct and fall into the opposite vice. Naturally, a person's goal should be to try to find a healthy balance, but that can be easier said than done. I suppose that's part of why it's so important to continually strive to repent and improve: It's easy to fall into vice through an excess or deficiency of any possible trait. As we strive for virtue, we should note that it is to be found in moderation, not in having the maximum or minimum possible level of any given trait.
