Do you ever speak of "virtue"? ?

Question

Philosophy always uses kind of words that don't seem to be that relevant to us. Moral philosophy speaks about "virtue", but I do not really feel like we have anything to learn from that.

Is this term still really important? What kind of words do you use to make a moral evaluation?

Answer 1

...not at all, thanks for asking...

Answer 2

Lau Tzu said to Confucious when asked what makes a virtuous man. Lau Tzu said a virtuous man does not even know virtue, no truly a virtuous man does not know it because he does not pretend, he does not cultivate virtue.

Cultivating virtue is false virtue.  Does the sun cultivate light, no it is the light, it shines without thought. A virtuous man is seen that way from the outside not from the inside. He does not view his actions as such. He simply acts out of his nature to do so and not out of his want or need to be virtuous.
