Arts & Humanities > Ethics Who is virtuous

3 of 5

Who is virtuous? We denote many esteemed qualities, and rightfully so, to parents who have sacrificed for their children. We admire those who risk life and limb to protect another from falling debris, raging waters or fiery deathtraps. They are our heroes. We praise one who would serve others through ministries, delegations or official posts. Without them, suffering might have gone unchecked.
