| 0:20.0 | Throughout this week, you have explored seven virtues as well as seven deadly sins. |
| 0:28.0 | You've explored how to weave these virtues into your life and how to cultivate these virtues in your meditation ritual. |

| 1:00.0 | You will also discover the virtue of kindness and the opposing quality of wrath. |
| 1:12.0 | You will also discover a fun and fearless challenge that is different from the daily challenge you've had this week, which has been to gift yourself with a virtue. |
