On what is "Virtue"??
In the same vein as what Pontius Pilate asked of “Truth”, it must be asked of ‘virtue’.
As truth is not the prop for those with the means to control a narrative, but the
visceral essence of a compulsive effort of spontaneous compassion for more than that
which is of a myopic self-interest. So is virtue, not a posturing virtue, but also
a compulsive, autonomic imperative of an intuitive altruism of unwitting selflessness.

Virtue is the expression of selflessness for the sake of selflessness,
“donandi causa donandi”. “Giving for the cause of giving”, per se. How often is
that witnessed, or spontaneously and intuitively exhibited?

Virtue is something in which we inhabit, as we are figuratively consumed by the notion
of acting as if there was no other option except for that self-sacrifice: so that something
better, maybe not necessarily, absolutely good, could have a chance to be. In doing so,
we are an extension, an outgrowth of a feeling-a spirit-that is so compulsive that there is
no distinction between that compulsion’s quality and our own self-consciousness
of our ego, our self-identity.
