jac379: How about a reasonably balanced and healthy mixture of things?
One's virtues can change and fluctuate according to the situation and one's circumstances.
Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't.

Errr...doesn't that mean that half the time you've got it right?
I believve is kijndness is my strongest virtue. I won a few most friendlyest troppy on bowling leauges, organizations, also offer to help people in need.
Humility as it is an honesty and is neither self depricating or ego inflating. People with humility are in touch with themselves,the good and the bad, and are at peace in the presemce of others.

Nope. I have strived just to be myself with all my faults and failings and that's been hard enough work for this lifetime. I can't change into something I'm not to suit others.
