The Idea of Virtue

By Sofiele Heartstring

 

Virtue, a concept deeply embedded in the history of philosophy, has been a subject of contemplation and discourse for millennia. Virtue ethics, a philosophical approach, places a profound emphasis on the development of moral character and virtues as the foundation for ethical decision-making. In this Sacred scroll, we will delve into the philosophy of virtue, exploring its historical roots through the Golden scrolls which are noted, core principles, and its relevance in contemporary moral philosophy.
 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.5In the first of ages, in the first battles, Xan stood.6 From HIM came the Light and the Virtue, as He took to battles throughout the great cosmos above.7 Like lightning struck His lance upon the hide of the first Wretch, and from the fall of Aegis was cast the first stone by the Firstborn of Dragur, ensnared by the grasp of RUIN - The Arch-Drakaar, The Titan, Azdromoth

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Virtue traces back to the first ages of creation, when our lord used Virtue to hone his primordial power and rebuke the hide of the titan. Alongside his light, many other paladins showed a significant amount of virtue within the history within our world.  Marian cross being one, who stood as the final line of defiance between the scourges and the innocent people fleeing behind him. And as he stood there he did not curse those who fled, yet prayed that his sacrifices of him and his cross guards would not be forgotten and or spit on in later years.

Virtue is both a weapon and a way of life, or one of them- as we children of our lord, and tools of his never ending crusade perceive this ethic as our own core value as knights of Xan.

Virtue ethics holds that virtues are morally desirable qualities of character. These virtues include courage, honesty, compassion, justice, wisdom, and many others. Virtues are not simply rules or guidelines but represent a deeper aspect of Descendant moral life.

 

Eudaimonia is central to virtue ethics. It is the idea that Descendants life's purpose is to flourish and live well. Virtuous Self development is seen as the path to achieving eudaimonia, as it leads to a fulfilling and meaningful life.

 

Virtue ethics emphasizes practical wisdom or phronesis, which involves making morally sound judgments in specific situations. This practical wisdom guides individuals in navigating complex moral dilemmas by taking into account the particulars of each situation.

 

Virtue ethics, deeply rooted in the history of philosophy, offers a unique perspective on ethics. It places character development, the pursuit of eudaimonia, and the cultivation of virtues at the center of ethical decision-making. In a world marked by moral complexity and ambiguity, virtue ethics continues to provide valuable insights, reminding us that ethical living is not merely about following rules but about becoming virtuous individuals who strive for a life of flourishing and moral excellence. By embracing the philosophy of virtue, individuals can make meaningful contributions to their own well-being and the betterment of society.

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.

      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
