Cardinal Virtues

Justice - The quality of being just or fair; The act of determining rights and assigning rewards or punishments; Fair or right treatment or action.

Fortitude - Strength of mind that enables one to endure adversity with courage; A quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear; Strength to face danger or take on challenges

Prudence - Knowing how to avoid embarrassment or distress; Foresight that leads to the avoidance of danger or error

Temperance - The trait of avoiding excesse; The practice of moderation



These are the cardinal virtues for those of us who didn't already know.





I've been trying to really make sense of them by appling them to the infinity sign where:
()()
Red=past/hindsight/temperance
Purple=present/fortitude
Blue=future/prudence

and the sum of all parts = Justice/infinity


Also by applying them to the triangle where:
side A=temperance
side B=fortitude
side C=prudence

and the triangle as a whole = Justice



I'm interesting in seeing how other might mentally connect the virtues and to see if where I've gone with this idea, well, makes any sense.

If I am making sense we might discuss how some of the virtues, at least to me, seem to contradict themselves. But, at the same time and nearly all the same.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
