Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about virtue, and I’ve arrived at the realization that I have no virtues.
What about you? Do you have any virtues? And if you do, which ones?

I dunno, you seem relatively considerate to me. I think that’s a virtue (a morally good trait.)
Speaking for myself, while I’m very far from virtuous, I do have some morally useful qualities, in certain situations. I can be patient, kind, gentle, understanding, tolerant, and display pity. Unfortunately, none of that makes up for my vices, morally speaking. But it’s there.
I’d like to expand on this question, what drives your moral compass? More interesting is this same question without a religious affiliation ?
The concept of virtue has no religious affiliation, necessarily. And although different religions do have different sets of virtues, there’s a lot of overlap between them.
That’s fair but if a virtue is Considered a morally good trait my expansion is merely asking what drives those morals? A driving factor which ultimately leaves you with the trait you possess. For many I feel it’s a moral compass from the fear of god.
To answer your question, well, I possess a few on good days but that day is not today. May I defer to answer after after a day with less tension and anxiety?
This is a good question, unfortunately my brain is fried after our virtual party last night.
Maybe ask this some other time. I have some thoughts/observations/questions as well, having felt that virtue and morality were of the greatest importance, and then everything turned to shit and I felt the fool,
Well. enough for now.
If living in denial is a virtue, I have it. If not, the only thing I can think of is work ethic. My self image is too fucked up to know if I have any others. Maybe my cats know.
