@previous (q)
There are four pillars of virtue. They are: wisdom, courage, self-control and justice.
Wisdom is to know how one should act in accordance with Nature*.
Courage is to know how one should act in the face of adversity.
Self-control is to know how one should act in situations that inspire emotions of greed.
Justice is to know how to behave with other people - with friendship and benevolence.
* Nature, God, destiny, or even the collective result of the individual free will of others... Call it what you will.
