Virtue is a combination of positive qualities of character. The concept of virtue has been known since ancient times, and people with these qualities are valued in many religions and in the secular world.
Generosity is one of the main qualities
Generosity is selflessness, the ability to sacrifice one’s interests and shares material wealth. A generous person will not pass by a beggar, he will always donate funds to an orphanage or nursing home, and will help in raising funds for the treatment of a child. But generosity can manifest itself not only in material assistance, it is also disinterested concern for people, the ability to come to the rescue in any situation and the moral support of people, regardless of the degree of relationship. Also, a generous person is able to forgive and not remember evil.
Even Socrates, Plato and Aristotle spoke of virtue, seeing in it a source of happiness.
Modesty is the virtue of the elect
Modesty is the ability to do great things without publicity. You can be generous, but ambitious and boastful. Rarely can anyone keep silent about his good deed and not tell everyone about it. To be humble is very difficult, because everyone wants to be appreciated by his positive actions and praised. In addition, modesty implies a special outward pitchfork and behavior. A humble person will not stand out with flashy accessories and garments, behave loudly and noisily, attract too much attention.
Patience is a rare trait
A patient person enjoys special respect, because he does not rush things, calmly waits in line and does not scandal due to the cancellation of the train. In today's hectic world, patience is extremely rare, people tend to make things quicker and everywhere in time, and the slightest delay leads them to anger. Patience also means low sensitivity to the blows of fate. A patient person will not be upset due to setbacks, but simply wait out the black line and try all over again.
In Christianity, virtues are the opposites of the seven deadly sins: anger, greed, gluttony, lust, despondency, envy, pride.
Courage is not just for men
Courage is steadfastness in any, most formidable and terrifying situation. Courage is manifested not only in extreme conditions, but also in ordinary life. A courageous act will be to protect a person from hooligans or simply to express their point of view that does not coincide with the opinion of a hostile majority. But this character trait does not imply reckless courage and bravado; one can hardly be called a courageous brawler who constantly wants thrills. Courage is courage in conjunction with reason, with rational thinking and reasonable arguments.
