It's a shame he didn't ask me...cuz I would have had something to say. (Maybe that's not a good thing :P)
Wisdom is the manner in which you examine the past, present, and future. In regard to the circumstances in life, whether they be good or bad, you can either ignore, disregard, or learn from them. True wisdom is being able to learn from life, and constantly rising upward to a state of higher understanding.
Courage is a demonstration of wisdom. By acting upon the lessons learned from life (or wisdom as previously defined), one displays the virtue of courage. In personal reflection, as well as the eyes of God and men, courage consists of the man who will act, or speak, when many others would never dream of instituting a change.
Temperance is a further demonstration of courage. This virtue often requires that one in a sense “not act” as much as courage requires action. In order to preserve one’s own integrity (or the integrity of others) temperance is to be applied to the mind and body in order to maintain the virtue of wisdom.
So in the course of a life, a man (if he truly wishes to live) will apply wisdom to his life, wisdom produces courage, courage creates temperance within an individual. Temperance, being the building block of wisdom then begins the cycle again….if you were to ask me, This is my definition of “self justice…”
But...he didn't ask me, and you probably didn't either...sew, thanks for reading if you got this far :P
"I get so distracted by some people's reactions that I don't see my own faults for what they are.
At times so self destructive, with no intent or motive...but behind this emotion, there lies a sensible heart..."
