Virtues

A virtue: A disposition to think, feel, act well in life

A vice:  A disposition to think, feel, act poorly

A matter of exhibiting or impeding human excellence, Plato and later Aristotle preached certain values, beliefs surrounding virtue. As Plato's theory regarding the world of forms, and a polarity of sentience, his teachings had no deficiency in the idea of taking the medium path. While moderation was practiced heavily in later Abrahamic religions, this idea was a very bizarrely new one, as many things were in 400 BC Athens.

Under are the four virtues, that Platonic teachings brought to the highest status, and within them were subqualities that must have been met. Platonic antiquity grasped very early the concept of an objective good character, especially an all encompassing one. Many of which are simply dulling reminders, as many of our teachings today have become based around his belief in moderation. Yet, a reminder that is still very needed, in today's world that has found itself in such desperate extremes; A necessary reminder for us all.
