“Is there not this strife between wealth and virtue; they always incline in opposite ways in the scales of the balance?”
— Plato, Republic, Book VIII, 550

What I can say is, I try to count my blessings, and do good. I don’t have the answers, as I see the homeless or wounded veterans whose injuries are hard to fathom. I need to do more to help animals. man’s inhumanity to man is by choice but the animals, have little say. I think Don Quixote is somewhere in my geneology
Good thoughts, Steve. Thanks!
I sure struggle with it often. It does not seem to do any eternal good to give up on virtue. I have a wealth of time. It is the same 24 hours a day everyone has. May we choose to use our moments in virtuous ways.
