Okay, first of all, what is a virtue?

Thanks for asking.

A virtue is a positive characteristic of a person. Usually,

someone's virtues have a positive impact on others. Yes, I know that sometimes it's hard to find

virtues in some people. but if you look carefully,

you will find them. Sometimes the word quality is also used to say the same thing.

The opposite of virtue would be defect, which logically is negative.

It's the undesirable aspect of a person.

Sometimes people confuse virtue with ability.

They are not precisely the same.

A virtue is part of someone's personality, and that helps differentiate them from other people. For example, one person may be, and another may not.

On the other hand, someone may have the ability to play an instrument, be organized, etc.

Okay, let's look at some of these virtues.

There are so many, and I had to make a selection.

I think it's quite useful vocabulary.
