Virtuously Normal



One virtue is more of a virtue than two, because it is more of a knot for one's destiny to cling to.- Zarathustra, as portrayed by Nietzsche.

If you picked one virtue to live your life by, which would it be? Often it seems that the single virtue adored by many Americans is to be average, to be "normal", to be just like you. I'm Okay, You're Okay.

I think my virtue would be Hospitality.
