Virtue.... the way of life to find inner fulfillment and give the best to the people around you. At least, this is, when the virtues are well-meaning. Virtue can also be twisted into something different, to tighten the grip of tyranny. The systems of virtue, in good as in bad encountered throughout the ages, are shown on this page of the Codex, giving insight into the basics of a society.
The relationship between the Principles and Virtues is often explained this way:
- Honesty is respect for Truth
- Compassion is Love of others
- Valor is Courage to stand up against risks
- Justice is Truth, tempered by Love
- Sacrifice is Courage to give oneself in name of Love
- Honor is Courage to seek and uphold the Truth
- Spirituality is to seek Truth, Love and Courage from one's own self and the world around
- Humility is the opposite of Pride - the absence of Truth, Love or Courage
