In class we briefly
talked about virtue, but what is virtue how can we really apply virtue? There
are many adjectives that are used to describe virtue, like clean or pure, but
it is not always an easy task to act as a virtuous person at all times. Many
people have to think about it and work at it everyday. I see virtue as doing
and being good, which can make us spiritually clean. After watching this video, I realized that
there are many things I need to work on to become a virtuous person. With
culture today, teen girls are influenced to be very thin, wear revealing
clothing, and act a certain way around men, which make us forget the beauty we
were blessed with. As a young woman today, I sometimes find it hard to avoid
those messages the media is sending, because they are everywhere. One of the
girls mentioned that being virtuous does not mean being perfect, which I agree
with. Although we may not be perfect, the best thing we can do it try, and the
worst would be to just ignore it all. I admire these girls for not being afraid
of virtue, for striving to be spiritual young women. To live a virtuous life is
up to us, because we decide the way we live our lives. What do you think virtue
is?
