Well, back to virtues, when I read I felt like Aristotle was trying to make it sound like it is simple to accomplish or achieve but it really is not that easy. I suppose that having 'the characteristics' that he was giving are good to have, but if it means to have them all, and must have all in order to have a fulfilling life, I am not to sure that I can agree. For sure I think one can have a fulfilling life with most of them, but not all at the same time just because that is almost like being perfect. Or like a robot who can generate when to feel what and when not to feel and that crosses my mind as something that will be very hard to reach.
But for the most part, he makes a lot of sense. =]
it's FRIDAY! YAY

Good questions. The key to determining what's appropriate is going to be phronisis which involves, most importantly, the ability to deliberate well.
