- 1:17Speaker 1: to create a legacy that transcends your mere existence, one

- 1:29Speaker 1: The Stoic mindset imagine a world where you could embrace
- 1:35Speaker 1: life's inevitable challenges with grace and resilience, where adversity becomes
- 1:41Speaker 1: a catalyst for personal growth rather than an obstacle to overcome.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Such is the power of the Stoic mindset. At the
- 1:50Speaker 1: core of Stoic philosophy lies a simple, yet profound truth
- 1:54Speaker 1: to live in alignment with nature, cultivating a mindset of
- 1:58Speaker 1: acceptance and in brace seeing the present moment. This ancient
- 2:03Speaker 1: Greek school of thought has stood the test of time
- 2:05Speaker 1: for centuries, offering a timeless framework for navigating life's uncertainties
- 2:10Speaker 1: with equanimity. By adopting a Stoic perspective, you'll learn to
- 2:16Speaker 1: distinguish between what you can control and what lies beyond
- 2:20Speaker 1: your influence. This powerful realization empowers you to focus your
- 2:26Speaker 1: energy on the things that truly matter, your thoughts, actions,
- 2:30Speaker 1: and reactions to the world around you, rather than wasting
- 2:34Speaker 1: precious time and energy on external circumstances beyond your control.
- 2:40Speaker 1: You'll learn to let go and flow with the currents
- 2:43Speaker 1: of life. The Stoic mindset teaches us to view challenges
- 2:48Speaker 1: not as insurmountable obstacles, but as opportunities for personal growth
- 2:53Speaker 1: and self mastery. By embracing a growth mindset, we can
- 2:58Speaker 1: reframe our perception of adversity, transforming it into a crucible
- 3:03Speaker 1: for forging resilience, courage, and wisdom. Each setback becomes a
- 3:08Speaker 1: stepping stone towards a deeper understanding of ourselves than the
- 3:12Speaker 1: world we inhabit. Ultimately, the Stoic mindset is a way
- 3:18Speaker 1: of life that fosters inner peace, resilience, and a profound
- 3:22Speaker 1: appreciation for the present moment. By aligning our thoughts and
- 3:26Speaker 1: actions with the natural order of the universe, we can
- 3:29Speaker 1: navigate life's complexities with a sense of equanimity and purpose,
- 3:34Speaker 1: leaving a lasting impact on those around us. Embracing impermanence
- 3:44Speaker 1: in the grand tapestry of existence, our lives are but
- 3:47Speaker 1: fleeting moments, mere blips in the vast expanse of eternity.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Yet it is this very impermanence that imbues our journey
- 3:56Speaker 1: with profound meaning and urgency. The Stoic philosophy embraces the
- 4:01Speaker 1: transient nature of life, encouraging us to acknowledge and accept
- 4:06Speaker 1: the inherent fragility of our existence. By confronting the reality
- 4:11Speaker 1: of impermanence, we can learn to appreciate the present moment
- 4:15Speaker 1: in all its richness, savoring each experience and cultivating a
- 4:20Speaker 1: deep sense of gratitude. In this ever changing world, nothing
- 4:25Speaker 1: is truly permanent. Relationships, possessions, and even our physical bodies
- 4:31Speaker 1: are subject to the relentless march of time. Rather than
- 4:35Speaker 1: clinging to the illusion of permanence, the Stoics teach us
- 4:39Speaker 1: to let go, to embrace the natural ebb and flow
- 4:42Speaker 1: of life with grace and equanimity. This mindset liberates us
- 4:48Speaker 1: from the shackles of attachment, allowing us to fully immerse
- 4:52Speaker 1: ourselves in the present, without the weight of clinging to
- 4:55Speaker 1: the past or anxiously grasping for the future. By living mindfully,
- 5:00Speaker 1: we can cherish the people, experiences, and moments that shape
- 5:04Speaker 1: our journey, savoring their fleeting beauty without fear of loss.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Embracing impermanence also cultivates a sense of urgency, a driving
- 5:15Speaker 1: force that propels us to live each day with purpose
- 5:19Speaker 1: and intention. When we acknowledge the finite nature of our existence,
- 5:24Speaker 1: we are inspired to make the most of the time
- 5:26Speaker 1: we have, to pursue our passions with relentless determination, and
- 5:31Speaker 1: to leave a lasting legacy that transcends our physical form.
- 5:36Speaker 1: In the end, it is this very impermanence that lends
- 5:39Speaker 1: our lives profound meaning and significance. By embracing the transient
- 5:44Speaker 1: nature of existence, we can learn to cherish the present moment,
- 5:49Speaker 1: cultivate a spirit of gratitude, and live with a sense
- 5:52Speaker 1: of urgency that leaves an indelible mark on the world
- 5:55Speaker 1: around us. Cultivate meaningful connections. In a world where superficial
- 6:05Speaker 1: interactions reign supreme, where our connections are often reduced to
- 6:09Speaker 1: mere pixels on a screen, true authentic bonds have become
- 6:13Speaker 1: a rare and precious commodity. Yet it is these deep,
- 6:17Speaker 1: meaningful connections that form the bedrock of a life that
- 6:21Speaker 1: transcends fleeting moments. The Stoic philosophy places great emphasis on
- 6:27Speaker 1: the cultivation of meaningful relationships, for it is through our
- 6:30Speaker 1: interactions with others that we find true fulfillment and purpose.
- 6:35Speaker 1: At the core of this pursuit lie the principles of empathy, compassion,
- 6:39Speaker 1: and understanding, the ability to truly see and connect with
- 6:44Speaker 1: those around us. To forge lasting bonds, we must first
- 6:49Speaker 1: learn the art of active listening. Too often we engage
- 6:53Speaker 1: in conversations with our minds preoccupied focused more on formulating
- 6:57Speaker 1: our next response than truly comprehending the person before us.
- 7:03Speaker 1: The Stoics teach us to be fully present, to listen
- 7:06Speaker 1: with an open heart and mind, and to seek a
- 7:09Speaker 1: deeper understanding of the other's perspective. Vulnerability is another essential
- 7:15Speaker 1: ingredient in cultivating meaningful connections. By allowing ourselves to be seen,
- 7:21Speaker 1: flaws and all, we invite others to do the same,
- 7:24Speaker 1: creating a safe space for authentic expression and genuine connection.
- 7:29Speaker 1: The Stoics understood that true strength lies not in the
- 7:32Speaker 1: facade of invincibility, but in the courage to be vulnerable
- 7:36Speaker 1: and embrace our shared humanity. Authenticity is the third pillar
- 7:42Speaker 1: of meaningful connections. In a world that often rewards conformity
- 7:47Speaker 1: and masks, the Stoics encourage us to embrace our true selves,
- 7:51Speaker 1: to live with integrity and alignment between our words and actions.
- 7:56Speaker 1: When we show up as our authentic selves, we inspire
- 7:59Speaker 1: others to do the same, fostering an environment of trust
- 8:03Speaker 1: and deeper connection. By embracing these principles empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity,
- 8:12Speaker 1: we can cultivate the kind of meaningful connections that leave
- 8:15Speaker 1: an indelible mark on our lives and the lives of
- 8:19Speaker 1: those around us. These bonds transcend the fleeting nature of
- 8:23Speaker 1: superficial interactions, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences, mutual understanding,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and lasting impact that will echo through eternity. Ultimately, it
- 8:35Speaker 1: is these deep, authentic connections that form the foundation of
- 8:39Speaker 1: a remarkable journey that resonates for generations, a life that
- 8:43Speaker 1: resonates long after we are gone, leaving a legacy of love, friendship,
- 8:49Speaker 1: and profound impact on those we have touched along the way.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Pursuing passion with purpose, Imagine a life where your passions
- 9:01Speaker 1: ignite a fire within you, propelling you towards greatness and
- 9:06Speaker 1: beckoning you to leave an indelible mark on the world
- 9:09Speaker 1: around you. This is the power of pursuing your passions
- 9:12Speaker 1: with purpose, a corner stone of the Stoic way of life.
- 9:17Speaker 1: The ancient Stoics understood that true fulfillment arises not from
- 9:22Speaker 1: external validation or fleeting pleasures, but from the alignment of
- 9:26Speaker 1: our actions with our deepest values and beliefs. When we
- 9:31Speaker 1: pursue our passions with a sense of purpose, we tap
- 9:34Speaker 1: into an inexhaustible wellspring of motivation and drive that fuels
- 9:39Speaker 1: our journey towards greatness. However, pursuing passion is not merely
- 9:45Speaker 1: about indulging in whimsical pursuits or chasing fleeting fancies. The
- 9:50Speaker 1: Stoics taught the importance of aligning our passions with a
- 9:53Speaker 1: higher purpose, a guiding principle that imbues our actions with
- 9:58Speaker 1: meaning and significance, whether it's a burning desire to create,
- 10:02Speaker 1: to teach, to heal, or to serve. When we harness
- 10:05Speaker 1: our passions towards a noble cause, we unlock the power
- 10:09Speaker 1: to leave a lasting legacy. To embark on this transformative journey,
- 10:15Speaker 1: we must first identify and nurture our passions. The Stoics
- 10:20Speaker 1: encourage us to engage in deep self reflection to uncover
- 10:24Speaker 1: the pursuits that ignite our souls and resonate with our
- 10:27Speaker 1: core values. Once we have clarity, we can set achievable
- 10:31Speaker 1: goals and chart a course towards their realization, one step
- 10:35Speaker 1: at a time. Yet, the path to pursuing our passions
- 10:40Speaker 1: is rarely a straight line. Obstacles and setbacks are inevitable,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and it is here that the Stoic principles of resilience
- 10:49Speaker 1: and perseverance shine through. By cultivating a growth mindset and
- 10:55Speaker 1: embracing challenges as opportunities for personal development, we can surmount
- 10:59Speaker 1: eas even the most daunting hurdles, emerging stronger and more
- 11:03Speaker 1: resolute than before. Pursuing our passions with purpose is not
- 11:09Speaker 1: just a path to personal fulfillment. It is a way
- 11:13Speaker 1: of life that leaves an indelible mark on the world
- 11:16Speaker 1: around us. When we align our actions with our deepest
- 11:20Speaker 1: values and relentlessly pursue our dreams, we inspire others to
- 11:25Speaker 1: do the same, creating a ripple effect that resonates through
- 11:29Speaker 1: generations to come. In this way, the stoic approach to
- 11:34Speaker 1: pursuing passion with purpose offers us a blueprint for crafting
- 11:38Speaker 1: a life that leaves an enduring impact, a life that
- 11:42Speaker 1: transcends our fleeting existence and echoes through eternity, leaving a
- 11:47Speaker 1: legacy that will inspire and uplift those who follow in
- 11:50Speaker 1: our footsteps. The art of resilience. Life is a roller
- 11:59Speaker 1: coaster of ups and downs, a journey filled with unexpected
- 12:02Speaker 1: twists and turns. Yet it is our ability to weather
- 12:06Speaker 1: the storms, to bounce back from adversity with grace and
- 12:09Speaker 1: fortitude that truly defines our character and the legacy we
- 12:13Speaker 1: leave behind. At the heart of Stoic philosophy lies the
- 12:18Speaker 1: art of resilience, the cultivation of a mindset that embraces
- 12:22Speaker 1: challenges as opportunities for growth and self mastery. The Stoics
- 12:27Speaker 1: understood that adversity is an inevitable part of the human experience,
- 12:32Speaker 1: and it is our response to these trials that shapes
- 12:35Speaker 1: our journey and the impact we have on the world
- 12:37Speaker 1: around us. One powerful Stoic practice that fosters resilience is
- 12:43Speaker 1: the concept of negative visualization. By mentally preparing for life's
- 12:49Speaker 1: inevitable setbacks and challenges, we can face them with equanimity
- 12:54Speaker 1: and a sense of preparedness. Rather than being caught off
- 12:58Speaker 1: guard by adversity, we can meet it head on, armed
- 13:02Speaker 1: with the tools and mindset necessary to overcome and grow
- 13:06Speaker 1: from the experience. The Stoics also emphasize the importance of
- 13:11Speaker 1: cultivating a growth mindset, the belief that our abilities and
- 13:16Speaker 1: qualities are not fixed, but can be developed and expanded
- 13:20Speaker 1: through effort and perseverance. With this mindset, setbacks become not
- 13:25Speaker 1: sources of defeat, but catalysts for learning, growth, and personal transformation.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Each challenge becomes a stepping stone towards greater wisdom and resilience. Moreover,
- 13:39Speaker 1: the Stoic principles teach us to focus on what is
- 13:42Speaker 1: within our control, our thoughts, actions, and reactions to external circumstances.
- 13:49Speaker 1: By relinquishing our attachment to outcomes beyond our influence, we
- 13:54Speaker 1: can channel our energy towards responding to adversity with grace, courage,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and a steadfast resolve to emerge stronger. On the other side,
- 14:05Speaker 1: the art of resilience is not about avoiding hardship, but
- 14:09Speaker 1: about embracing it with a mindset of growth and self mastery.
- 14:13Speaker 1: By embodying the Stoic virtues of fortitude and perseverance, we
- 14:17Speaker 1: can weather life storms with equanimity, emerging not just intact
- 14:21Speaker 1: but transformed, leaving a legacy of strength and inspiration for
- 14:26Speaker 1: those who follow in our footsteps. Living with integrity in
- 14:35Speaker 1: a world that often rewards compromise and short cuts, where
- 14:39Speaker 1: the siren call of expediency can drown out the whispers
- 14:43Speaker 1: of our moral compass, it's all too easy to lose
- 14:46Speaker 1: sight of our integrity. But true greatness, the kind that
- 14:50Speaker 1: leaves an indelible mark on the world, lies in living
- 14:54Speaker 1: with unwavering integrity. The Stoic philosophy places great emphasi on
- 15:00Speaker 1: the alignment of our actions with our values, for it
- 15:04Speaker 1: is this congruence that fosters a sense of inner peace, contentment,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and a life well lived. By living with integrity, we
- 15:13Speaker 1: cultivate a profound sense of self respect and authenticity that
- 15:18Speaker 1: resonates through every aspect of our existence. Integrity begins with
- 15:24Speaker 1: self awareness, a deep understanding of our core beliefs, principles,
- 15:29Speaker 1: and the ethical framework that guides our decisions and actions.
- 15:34Speaker 1: The Stoics encourage us to engage in regular self reflection
- 15:38Speaker 1: to examine our motives and ensure that they are aligned
- 15:41Speaker 1: with our highest values. This practice cultivates a clarity of
- 15:45Speaker 1: purpose that serves as a moral compass, guiding us through
- 15:50Speaker 1: life's many challenges and temptations. Armed with this self awareness,
- 15:56Speaker 1: we can then approach each decision and action with a
- 15:59Speaker 1: commitment to doing what is right, even in the face
- 16:02Speaker 1: of external pressures or the allure of short cuts. The
- 16:06Speaker 1: Stoics teach us to stand firm in our convictions, to
- 16:10Speaker 1: resist the siren song of compromise, and to maintain our
- 16:14Speaker 1: integrity no matter the cost. Living with Integrity also means
- 16:20Speaker 1: being accountable for our actions and taking responsibility for the
- 16:25Speaker 1: impact we have on the world around us. The Stoics
- 16:29Speaker 1: encourage us to consider the ripple effects of our choices,
- 16:32Speaker 1: to act with compassion and consideration for others, and to
- 16:36Speaker 1: strive to leave a positive legacy that transcends our individual selves. Ultimately,
- 16:44Speaker 1: living with integrity is not just a virtue, but a
- 16:47Speaker 1: way of life that shapes our character and the enduring
- 16:51Speaker 1: impact we have on those around us. By aligning our
- 16:55Speaker 1: actions with our values and maintaining an unwavering commitment to
- 16:59Speaker 1: doing what is right, we can craft an existence that
- 17:02Speaker 1: reverberates beyond its temporal boundaries, a life that serves as
- 17:07Speaker 1: a beacon of inspiration and a testament to the power
- 17:10Speaker 1: of living with authenticity and moral fortitude. The power of
- 17:17Speaker 1: self discipline. Imagine a life where your desires and impulses
- 17:24Speaker 1: no longer control you, where you possess the unwavering self
- 17:28Speaker 1: discipline to pursue your goals with laser like focus and determination.
- 17:33Speaker 1: This is the transformative power of mastering the art of
- 17:36Speaker 1: self discipline, a cornerstone of the Stoic way of life.
- 17:41Speaker 1: In a world filled with constant distractions and temptations. The
- 17:45Speaker 1: ability to exercise self discipline is a rare and invaluable asset.
- 17:50Speaker 1: The Stoics understood the true freedom and mastery over one's
- 17:53Speaker 1: life lie not in the indulgence of fleeting impulses, but
- 17:57Speaker 1: in the cultivation of mental toughness and self control. At
- 18:02Speaker 1: the core of self discipline lies the practice of delaying gratification,
- 18:07Speaker 1: the ability to forego immediate pleasure in favor of long
- 18:11Speaker 1: term rewards and fulfillment. The Stoics taught that by learning
- 18:16Speaker 1: to control our impulses and resist the siren call of
- 18:19Speaker 1: instant gratification, we can channel our energy and focus towards
- 18:24Speaker 1: pursuits the truly matter. One powerful technique for cultivating self
- 18:30Speaker 1: discipline is the development of habits and routines that support
- 18:34Speaker 1: our long term aspirations. By establishing consistent patterns of behavior
- 18:39Speaker 1: aligned with our goals, we create a foundation of discipline
- 18:44Speaker 1: that becomes second nature, freeing us from the constant struggle
- 18:48Speaker 1: against our impulses. Procrastination, that insidious thief of time and productivity,
- 18:56Speaker 1: is another foe that self discipline can conquer. The Stoics
- 19:01Speaker 1: encourage us to develop strategies for overcoming procrastination, such as
- 19:06Speaker 1: breaking tasks into manageable chunks, setting realistic deadlines, and cultivating
- 19:12Speaker 1: a mindset of action and accountability. Moreover, self discipline is
- 19:19Speaker 1: not merely about denying ourselves pleasures or engaging in asceticism.
- 19:24Speaker 1: It is about aligning our actions with our deepest values
- 19:28Speaker 1: and priorities. When we exercise self control in service of
- 19:32Speaker 1: our highest aspirations, we tap into a wellspring of motivation
- 19:37Speaker 1: and drive that propels us towards greatness. The power of
- 19:42Speaker 1: self discipline lies in its ability to transform our lives
- 19:45Speaker 1: and shape our legacy. By mastering the art of self
- 19:49Speaker 1: control and mental toughness, we can pursue our passions with
- 19:53Speaker 1: unwavering focus, overcome obstacles with resilience, and leave an indelible
- 19:58Speaker 1: mark on the world around us, a mark that will
- 20:01Speaker 1: inspire and uplift generations to come. Embracing simplicity in a
- 20:12Speaker 1: world that glorifies excess and materialism, where the relentless pursuit
- 20:16Speaker 1: of more often overshadows the pursuit of meaning, True freedom
- 20:20Speaker 1: lies in embracing simplicity, in finding contentment within the essentials
- 20:25Speaker 1: of life. The Stoic philosophers understood that the path to
- 20:31Speaker 1: lasting fulfillment is not paved with possessions or the accumulation
- 20:35Speaker 1: of wealth, but rather in the cultivation of a mindset
- 20:39Speaker 1: that distinguishes between wants and needs. By learning to separate
- 20:44Speaker 1: our desires from our true necessities, we can liberate ourselves
- 20:48Speaker 1: from the endless cycle of consumption and attachment. At the
- 20:54Speaker 1: heart of this practice lies the art of living, simply
- 20:57Speaker 1: a conscious decision to strip away the air excess and
- 21:00Speaker 1: focus on what truly matters. The stoics encourage us to
- 21:04Speaker 1: declutter our lives, both physically and mentally, shedding the burdens
- 21:09Speaker 1: of material possessions and mental clutter that weigh us down
- 21:13Speaker 1: and distract us from our true purpose. Simplicity is not
- 21:18Speaker 1: about deprivation or asceticism. It is about intentionality and mindfulness.
- 21:24Speaker 1: By curating our possessions and experiences with intention, we can
- 21:28Speaker 1: create space for what truly matters, meaningful relationships, personal growth,
- 21:34Speaker 1: and the pursuit of our passions. This intentionality fosters a
- 21:38Speaker 1: sense of clarity and focus that allows us to fully
- 21:41Speaker 1: immerse ourselves in the present moment. Moreover, embracing simplicity cultivates
- 21:48Speaker 1: a profound sense of gratitude for the abundance we already possess.
- 21:53Speaker 1: When we strip away the distractions and noise of excess,
- 21:57Speaker 1: we can appreciate the beauty and richness of the ascent,
- 22:00Speaker 1: the warmth of a loved one's embrace, the wonder of
- 22:04Speaker 1: nature's majesty, or the simple pleasure of a shared meal.
- 22:10Speaker 1: In a world that often equates happiness with accumulation, the
- 22:14Speaker 1: Stoic philosophy of simplicity offers a refreshing counterpoint, a reminder
- 22:19Speaker 1: the true contentment lies not in the pursuit of more,
- 22:23Speaker 1: but in the appreciation of what we already have. By
- 22:27Speaker 1: embracing this mindset, we can live with greater freedom, clarity,
- 22:32Speaker 1: and a sense of purpose that leaves a lasting legacy. Ultimately,
- 22:38Speaker 1: the practice of simplicity is not just a lifestyle choice.
- 22:42Speaker 1: It is a pathway to inner peace, gratitude, and a
- 22:46Speaker 1: life lived in alignment with our deepest values. It is
- 22:50Speaker 1: a way of being that allows us to savor the
- 22:53Speaker 1: present moment and leave an indelible mark on the world
- 22:56Speaker 1: around us, a mark of intentionality, mindfulness, and the embrace
- 23:02Speaker 1: of life's true essentials. The legacy of Stoicism throughout the
- 23:12Speaker 1: annals of history, countless individuals have embraced the timeless wisdom
- 23:16Speaker 1: of Stoicism, leaving an indelible mark on the world and
- 23:20Speaker 1: inspiring generations to come with their unwavering pursuit of virtue, resilience,
- 23:25Speaker 1: and self mastery. The Stoic philosophy finds its roots in
- 23:31Speaker 1: ancient Greece, where towering figures like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus
- 23:36Speaker 1: Aurelius lived and taught. These philosophers, each in their own way,
- 23:41Speaker 1: embodied the Stoic virtues of courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom,
- 23:46Speaker 1: and their writings continue to resonate millennia later. Seneca, a
- 23:52Speaker 1: Roman philosopher and statesman, left a lasting legacy through his
- 23:57Speaker 1: teachings on the cultivation of tranquility, the embrace of simplicity,
- 24:02Speaker 1: and the importance of living in accordance with nature. His
- 24:05Speaker 1: letters to Lutelius offer timeless insights into the Stoic way
- 24:09Speaker 1: of life, inspiring readers to seek inner freedom and detachment
- 24:13Speaker 1: from external circumstances. Epictetus, a former slave who found solace
- 24:20Speaker 1: in Stoic philosophy, taught the importance of focusing on what
- 24:24Speaker 1: lies within our control and relinquishing attachment to outcomes beyond
- 24:29Speaker 1: our influence. His discourses, preserved by his student Aaran, continue
- 24:34Speaker 1: to guide individuals in the art of living with equanimity
- 24:38Speaker 1: and resilience in the face of adversity. Marcus Aurelius, the
- 24:43Speaker 1: Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher, left an indelible mark through
- 24:47Speaker 1: his personal writings known as the Meditations. In these profound reflections,
- 24:53Speaker 1: he explored the virtues of humility, self discipline, and the
- 24:58Speaker 1: pursuit of wisdom, of offering a blueprint for living a
- 25:01Speaker 1: life of purpose and integrity. Beyond these illustrious figures, the
- 25:07Speaker 1: Stoic legacy has been carried forward by countless individuals throughout history,
- 25:13Speaker 1: from artists and writers to leaders and revolutionaries. Each in
- 25:17Speaker 1: their own way has embodied the Stoic principles, leaving a
- 25:20Speaker 1: lasting impact on their respective fields and inspiring others to
- 25:25Speaker 1: live with courage, resilience, and a deep sense of purpose.
- 25:30Speaker 1: In our contemporary world, the enduring wisdom of Stoicism continues
- 25:35Speaker 1: to resonate, offering a timeless framework for navigating life's complexities
- 25:40Speaker 1: and crafting a legacy that transcends our fleeting existence. By
- 25:45Speaker 1: honoring the Stoic tradition and embodying its virtues, we too
