Virtues are Symmetrical?

Virtues are Symmetrical?

A door is both a portal, an entrance, and an exit. Yet we prevailingly imagine it as an entrance. All too often, we construct mental asymmetries where none exist.

We consider kindness to be a virtue, but, for some reason, we refrain from confronting injustice as if confrontation was a vice. A virtuous person is only virtuous when he or she is benevolent towards the weak and has the courage to stand up against the transgressions of the strong. Most virtues are symmetrical. On it's own, frugality is not a virtue unless we are also proactive.

[ N.B. This is not the same as 'Negative and Positive Morality' ]
