Complete list of virtues
I am merely asking if you can
show why being virtuous is actually good for me in any way?
I've studied virtue ethics, and I personally strive to be virtuous, but I am wondering if you can defend your point of view. It is a philosophical discussion, and philosophers do not often take things for granted.
So yes, I am asking why I should be virtuous. Is it better for me in some way? Define better if so.
Or is it just that I should be virtuous because its moral. But then I ask: why should I be moral?
