Can you grab some deep and profound way of evaluating your behavior and just, well, use it? I argue you can because at some point religion, psychology, ethics, is all "giving it a go" - so why not be honest, get going, and put in the work? https://www.xenofact.com/2026/08/09/giving-it-a-go/

Having to make a conscious effort not to respond to a nasty post.
Temperance I sometimes find difficult to exercise, but it is a virtue that I must cultivate.

The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian

Sari Valton tänäisessä ohjelmassa oli kriittistä puhetta itsekkyyden ajasta ja yksilökeskeisestä kulttuurista, ja peräänkuulutettiin hyveitä väljähtymis-alttiin arvopuheen sijaan, https://areena.yle.fi/1-77184233
Keitä oli vieraina, selviää ohjelmatiedosta. Itse olen alkanut vierastaa sellaistakin kehystämistä, koska se helposti ennakko-turhentaa mahdollista antia. Joskus tuntuu, että kiireisenä nykyaikana lähteet alkavat helposti painaa asiaa enemmän, positiivisesti tai negatiivisesti. Kyseessä on eräänlainen ad hominem -(virhe)päättely, jota voisi karttaa.

Chrysostom, with admirable bluntness, notes that some happily dress a prostitute in gold while stepping over Christ shivering in the poor. Same wallet, different priorities. He wonders what sort of forgiveness—or punishment—fits that logic. It’s an uncomfortably practical question, then and now: who exactly are we most eager to clothe?

My poem Psychomachian
on the ongoing "soul war" for and in minds all over.
Shown here spanning two columns.

In this blog post, I philosophize regarding two fundamental tendencies of the human life: Competition and Cooperation, and how competition harms it and cooperation nourishes it.

John Calvin, early #Calvinist, reflects on the Second Use of the Law. The destitute are under God’s protection. This fact causes restraint in those are tempted to commit wickedness against the poor, if there were no earthly resistance.
Today, would the burden of shame be placed in an entirely different place, that those who criticize wealth creators would need to fear the hand of God?
How can you respond favorably to God’s Law?

@eco-g The price of bias is a failing government, corruption, unsustainable economy and more extremism. By effectively financing Reform the media barons; the billionaire oligarchs and their fascist cults are furthering the destruction of civil rights and ethical laws. #Virtues #NotWar #NotTerror #NotGenocide #NotEcocide #MediaAccountability #Bias #BiasAirtime #DirtyMoney #UK #ukpolitics #corruption #ElectionBribery #VestedInterests #ShellBuyout #SellingUK #Oligarchs #ToadyParties #Inequality #Injustice

@reverend Suppose civil rights ground the basis of virtues, which depend on ethical freedom. Without the ethical mediation of constitutional rights, how can there be any freedom from caprice, hubris, greed, violence and terror; driven by inequality and injustice? #CivilRights #Virtues #EthicalFreedom #IdeologicalDogma #EthicalRights #DeityConstitutesDialectic #DialecticTranscendsBeing #Socrates

GENTLENESS (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 11" x 13"Not a classical Virtue, but based on observing my young son with our aging family cat. It's how I hope we'll care for all the earth's creatures.

If code can have virtues, then tests, which are also code, can have virtues. The question is, are there any special virtues that are unique to tests? Of course there are. Here's a few virtues which can make your tests better.

People can have virtues. So can code. In general, for better code, you maximize virtues and minimize smells

RETROSPECTION (2006)

PRUDENCE (1996)
