    Aristotle says “Virtue lies in our power, and similarly so does vice; because where it is in our power to act, it is also in our power not to act …”

      @ Yeah it’s a little late, but things have gone well. My advice to better track improvement is to have a reflection journal. I basically tracked my moods and highlights since September, and out of everything I feel more situated and calm in most scenarios. The highest virtue (in my opinion) is curiosity to learn more. Read something every month, reflect and let your mind loose! I’m excited for the New Year, have a nice one!

    More than 2000 years have passed and this simple and clear lesson has not influenced the way people think and act.
    This shows us that most people prefer to be slaves to some mental garbage than to make a continuous effort of self-control and inner self-contemplation.
    It seems that even the prospect of extinction fails to wake them up from this historical hypnosis.

    The biggest plagiarist in the world attempting to teach on virtue?
    It is common knowledge that Aristotle plagiarized the remaining residue of the burnt down Alexandrian library, compliments of his deranged protégé, Alexander the (not so) Great)?
    More proof that truth really is stranger than fiction.
    Even so, still love your channel loads. Thanks for all you do to bring the great philosophers and philosophies to the forefront.
    Peace and love!

    Virtues are defined by the person, same of truth, and morals. It's our individual consciousness that we perceive and understand by. "Good" (vs bad) virtue is in the eyes of the beholder.
    All men observe, not the world outside, but themselves - since what they see is at best only their conception of what they see; Lionel Mordecai Trilling
    Whether this video is good has no long term meaning--cause in the long run we're all dead... the best way to get people to do things is to kindly use passive aggressive methods backed up by laws or rules. Take a lesson from any corporate oligarch, or Gov't Elite, note how they use passive aggressive tactics to get their way.

    Not UA-cam. No profit here.
    It's just desperation.
    The troll and pirate support kills the profits and the ads just suck.

    From the ancient Greeks. ( modern version ) .
    The purpose of any Lifetime.
    You are not the body and mind you are Eternal Spirit trapped in the body, you have forgotten over many incarnations.
    The Matrix is your own bio computer virtual reality point of view brain machine that keeps you in the illusion of being a physical Being in a physical world via the nervous system and the five senses ( the Fallen Angel metaphor and Original sin or Original mistake). Meditation-Separation is the practice of putting the body and mind to sleep but staying Awake and Alert inside separate from the body and mind until you EXPERIENCE yourself as Eternal Spirit again.
    If you remain in this state after Meditation its called Nirvana, Samadhi, the Tao, Virtue Socrates and the stoic saints, Obtaining the Golden Fleece Greek mythology, Garden of Eden, born again Jesus, Awake as Eternal Spirit again-Buddha, The practice of Dying by Socrates, Leaving the Body but not dying Socrates, Ramana Maharshi, Krishnamurti and leaving the known ( separating from the body and mind as the source of Reality) ,
    The Eternal Inner Witness Krishnamurti,
    The "Eternal Now" of Consciousness Prior to all creation- Nostradamus,etc etc all the same.

      You misunderstood so so much... You're blending together anything and everything you can to try to form a grand unifying principle and in doing so, you're taking things out of their proper context, blurring lines and ignoring and disrespecting the actual meaning of each concept you try to take for your own. Greeks knew NOTHING of Tao. It isn't described. No parallel even exists on Greek philosophy outside of vague abstractions like "the unknown". Which isn't the same. And means nothing essentially. Just like all of what you wrote here.
