Respect
Respect is another of today's popular concepts. Its popularity does not deminish its importance. Although it is popular and always has been, it is still a highly coveted concept and always has been.
3. to show consideration or thoughtfulness in relation to somebody or something
Consideration comes into effect here as well. I can not stress enough or often enough, how important the concept of consideration is. Thoughtfullness about others is an absolute must, in order to help others and be of use to the world, we absolutely must give them the respect they deserve.
Honesty
Honesty is one of those concepts that is fickle. Some respect the idea and some do not. It is important to be honest. If we are dishonest with others, what is to stop us from being dishonest with ourselves? If we are dis-honest to ourselves, what is to keep us from believing the untruths we tell ourselves?
1. the quality, condition, or characteristic of being fair, just, truthful, and morally upright
2. truthfulness, candor, or sincerity
Sincerity is the most important aspect of this. If we are not sincere, our intentions are not whole hearted, if our intentions are not whole hearted, then its some what pointless to even bother.
Morality
Morality is the standard of right and wrong, by which, all people govern their own lives. Alot of questions, as to the aspects of a human, can be drawn from this. If one believes it to be moral to murder, who are we to tell them they are wrong?
1. standards of conduct that are accepted as right or proper
Each person carries their own standard of what is right and wrong. This type of thing is learned from birth untill the day you die. it is an important aspect in that, it dictates a large part of a persons personality. This being said, without morality there is no personality.
Grace
Grace is a term often used when referencing a person's movements. This term is not limited to that definition alone, it also applies to social graces.
2. dignified, polite, and decent behavior
Decent behavior is important to an extent thats unfathomable. Most people take this concept for granted until they experience it being defiled. It's the answer to alot of questions such as, "why me?". Without decency grace is lost, without grace humanity is lost.
Bravery
Bravery is another of those fickle things. It is important to remember that bravery is not the absence of fear but the presence of fear and the willingness to face it.
1. extreme courage in the face of danger or difficulty, or an example of extreme courage
The best way for me to sum up my belief in bravery, is to quote a couple of phrases.
"Bravery is not the absence of fear, yet it is the presence of fear and the willingness to go on in spite of it."
"The brave may not live long but the cautious don't live at all"
Virtue
Virtue is an aspect that includes morality in it. It is the quality of a person with the ability to be morally good. Virtue is also a term applied to a moral that in it self is good.
1. the quality of being morally good or righteous
Once again, we come back to morality. As I said before, morality makes up a good part of a person. Morality in itself is as complex as a person. A person is complex because of their morals.
Wisdom
It is my belief, that, wisdom is not the amount of knowledge a person has, it is the ability to apply what knowledge a person does have in an efficient manor.
1. the knowledge and experience needed to make sensible decisions and judgments, or the good sense shown by the decisions and judgments made
Knowledge and expierence are neccessary to be wise. also a sense of good- ness is required. To be wise is to make good judgements; if we are to make good judgements then we need the expierence, knowledge, and morality to see the good as well as the bad and to know the difference.
Anti-Realism
Realism is a concept that demotes dreaming. Our dreams are what give us hope for tomorrow; without hope, what reason is there to live. For those who suffer, hope is all that there is.
1. a practical understanding and acceptance of the actual nature of the world, rather than an idealized or romantic view of it
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having an idealistic or romantic view of the world. There has never been a realist that accomplished great things. William Shakespeare was a romantic. Ben Franklin was an idealist. For it is the dreamers the world, that have blessed us with many luxuries such as, the invention of electricity, or mind capturing plays and sonnets.
Insanity
It is my belief that sanity is highly over-rated. Sanity is living in a box of what is supposed to be correct and coherant. For it is sanity which limits the human mind, where great men are often labled insane, sane men have never crossed beyond the boundaries of humanity.
1. extreme foolishness or an act that demonstrates it
Foolishness is a term often applied to someone who is brave enough to shoot for that which is outside of human limitations. How will we ever know what the limit of our humanity is, if we are not couragous enough to push those limits to the edge.
