virtue for virtue’s sake can prove to be destructive.

we should not esstentially avoid vices, such as taking the easiest way out, if employing them will benifit us. vices like that should not be pursued for their own sake.

similarly, virtues should not be pursued for their own sake.

both virtues and vices should conceived as a means to an end



Ah, gotta love the moral relativism. So murder is OK if you don’t get caught and you get an inheritance? Hogwash!

someone else, just remember (and I wish I could remember who said it), “The only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
