It seems all virtues are for strong. when you are strong or have power you can choose whether to forgive or punish, but what can you choose when you’re weak? how can you show your virtue when you’re not allowed to choose itself? then it all turns into mere consolation. Is there anything like ‘intrinsic value’?

Virtues are for the strong of heart and will. Ghandi? Strong? No. He became strong through his will and virtue. Rosa Parks? Strong? Hardly? Poor Black woman in Birmingham AL? Will, virtuous action made her strong.
Philosophically? Intrinsic value? Probably not. Not magic scoreboard in the sky keeping track of right and wrong. Who cares? Why do you need that? You set your path. You follow it.
