It is a mere evaluation of the self based on certain categories.
And it is helpful to mold the self further.

| The four (4) cardinal ethics as a result from faith, hope, and charity (love) |
Virtue Ethics by nature reflects
the way a person acts. Thus, it reflects one’s character. Furthermore, this are
embedded by series of moral values in a sense that this determine one’s
personality which is naturally obtained or acquired in a sense that it gives
life unto others in a way that by nature and as well in the social norms it is
indeed good and acceptable. However, there comes a time that our very being is
being questioned as how virtuous we are and as well doing so in everyday
situations in life.
WHO AM I?
One will
ask: Who am I? How virtuous am I in my everyday life? Out of many virtuous, how
many do I practice religiously each and every single day? Such questions are
indeed difficult to answer that one needs days or weeks to reflect. In my case,
however, I slowly but surely discover all of my strengths and weaknesses I
obtain throughout my life from birth until this very moment. And all of that do
take place as I lived on with my life. From all of that meditation, it is
realizable that there are surmountable amounts of strengths that must be kept
up and as well numerous weaknesses that needs to be strengthened. My strengths
will include being friendly with others, being opportunistic and as well
optimistic in each and every way, brave to face uncertain things and is
somewhat known to think alternatives upon failure of the first plan. With these
strengths, it is certain that most things can be easily done with motivation.
Speaking of virtues that give me strength, aside from faith, hope and love,
there is also respect, fortitude and prudence. These virtues are the one who
defines me. Having faith, hope and love is me being a Catholic Christian.
Having respect means me giving respect to those who deserve it. Fortitude gives
me a sense of bravery to face the inevitable. And most of all, being prudent is
virtue that deals in every tough decision in life. With that comes the weak
part. It was known that somewhat I gone out of interest in things sometimes,
giving the impression of being incompetent in the sense that it decrease
credibility. Also, there are times that temperance is not observable in a sense
that the self goes out of control. But somewhat there is still control in
highly tense situations that primarily involves emotion.
WHAT KIND
OF A PERSON DO I WANT TO BECOME?
Every
person dreams sometime, and comes up with this question: What kind of person do
I want to become? It is somewhat ambitious at a first glance, but as
scrutinized deeply, it gives the impression that it serves as a guide in which
a person has to follow that certain path based on the plans that have laid
there so that such individual will reach the location he or she desires. In my
case, I want to improve the sense of excellence within self, practicing the
virtue of temperance and as well further improve the other virtues that have
mentioned earlier in this paper. Improving excellence is the first thing, as if
it is my lifeline since my beloved parents introduced it to me. With such comes
motivating the self to know more, increasing the standards and as well learn
the lessons life has to give in a sense that it will carry on for the rest of
my life. From that comes the sense that wisdom, out of collective knowledge and
proper education and as well experience, will be further enhanced and thus,
that will make me more of a man as a value rather than man as an honor,
although honor is the thing that also can achieved. Second thing is that to
improve my weakness which is temperance. It has been improved for the last few
years but still enhanced until know. This comes with self-discipline and
self-regulation unto the desires of the person. With that comes the
independence of interest and gives the essence of doing productive things that
may seems as a benefit for the self as well of the others. Thus, it gives
excellent results. Finally, improving and enhancing the other virtues is also a
thing to keep things in line with the so-called evolving world with the
evolving workplace. With that goes the flow of the life and as well the change
in social norms in a sense that it is still healthy and ethical as far as
Christian Morality is concerned.
HOW TO
ACHIEVE THE GOALS?
Achieving
this goal come the series of plans, and that’s the time prudence comes in. In
this case however, comes with an additive which is excellence. This combination
comes with outstanding result which is to overcome this goal in a way that
collective wisdom is used in a logical way which is within context and is by
nature realistic is indeed a certainty wherein every decisions in life comes
with an in-depth analysis also with the guidance from God in a certain way that
such plans do serve as a direction that needs to be follow. Furthermore,
achieving these three goals comes with determination, self-constrained, time
management, setting priorities in accordance to urgency, and some other
necessities. With this, the goals will be achievable within an ample amount of
time and as well improves personalities like mine and thus, making ourselves a
better person.
OVERALL SUMMATION
Overall, applying Virtue Ethics and
practicing it religiously are indeed helpful in molding the inner self to
become the betterment of others as well as the self in a sense that everybody
benefits and as well joyful that every person has its own roles and such person
deserves respect. Furthermore, virtue ethics gives the person what it means to
be human in a way that helping others gives worthy on the self. Such is the
good benefit of virtue ethics.
