12 Virtues and difference of moral and intellectual virtues

Courage - courage is about standing firm in difficulties while avoiding both recklessness and cowardice. A brave person faces challenges wisely, not impulsively. Here's an example: Quitting a job without a plan is reckless. But refusing a better career opportunity due to fear of failure is cowardice.

Temperance - moderation in pleasures is essential. Excess leads to self-destruction, while too much restraint dulls life. Here's an example: Social media is fun but excessive use leads to anxiety and addiction. Balance is key.

Liberality - true generosity lies between overly extravagant and excessively frugal. Give freely, but don't harm yourself in the process. Here's an example: Sharing food is good, but giving away everything and starving yourself is not wise.

Magnificence - wealth should be used with grace and responsibility, neither wasting it nor being overly stingy. Here's an example: Warren Buffet is rich but still lives simply. True magnificence means handling resources wisely.

Magnanimity - confidence and humility go hand in hand. Being too prideful is arrogance while lacking self-worth is self-deprecation. Here's an example: Acknowledge your achievements but never belittle others for their failures

Ambition - strive for success, but never at the expense of important values like family and well-being. Here's an example: Working non-stop may lead to promotions, but missing out on life's meaningful moments isn't worth it.

Patience - anger is destructive. A patient person balances frustration with tolerance while knowing when to stand firm. Here's an example: Staying calm in an argument is a strength, but tolerating endless disrespect isn't patience— it's a weakness.

Truthfulness - honesty is important, but brutal bluntness can harm relationships. Truth should be spoken with wisdom. Here's an example: Giving constructive criticism is helpful. Insulting someone under the guise of honesty is not.

Wittiness - humor is a social virtue, but foolishness is not. A witty person is intelligent, not obnoxious. Here's an example: A well-timed joke lighten the mood, while excessive goofiness can be annoying.

Friendliness - friendships should be genuine and balanced— not distant, but also not overwhelming. Here's an example: Supporting your friends is good, but constantly demanding attention can be exhausting from them.

Modesty - modesty lies between excessive shyness and arrogance. Know when to accept faults and when to stand up for yourself. Here's an example: Acknowledge your mistakes, but don't dwell on them forever. Growth is the key.

Justice - true justice means fairness without falling into envy or resentment. Here's an example: If a friend buys a luxury car, don't be bitter. Instead, focus on your own progress.
