Extreme Virtues
.
This list, by columnist Ashley Cooper, always makes me reflect. Sometimes it’s not my vice that makes me err, it’s my virtue.
Truth, if it becomes a weapon against persons.
Beauty, if it becomes a vanity.
Love, if it becomes possessive.
Loyality, if it becomes blind, careless trust.
Tolerance, if it becomes indifference.
Self-confidence, if it becomes arrogance.
Faith, if it becomes self-righteousness.

Very interesting reflection. Had never thought of virtues in that way until reading the list. It’s a great reminder of how to monitor the way one lives one’s life. Off to make a copy of the list so I read it on a regular basis. Thanks for posting it.
What a great list! If we could all only keep that in focus!
I love it when people look at something at a 90 degree angle! It alwats makes me think.

All that may be true if you’re a mere human, but you must remember that Greyhounds are perfect; never arrogant or vein…..hmmmmmm….. Deccy x
That is true! No argument from me there. That’s why we’re your slaves, Deccy!
That’s a lot to think about, and very true! Funny how a matter of perception can change things!
