An unprocessed collection of virtues
Where did they come from?
There are a lot of lists of virtues available on the web. The smallest contain only the 4 cardinal virtues. Next up would be Benjamin Franklin's personal 13. There was one with about 400 virtues and vices but it was entirely unworkable. I settled on approximately 100 for now but some of these will be thrown out immediately. Some skills praised as virtues are, in my estimation, vices.
This is a workspace for notes on all the virtues that are worth consideration (in the current moral climate (in my own personal situation)).
