Love- is showing/-giving
affection towards people and the world itself. It is a deep and constant
feeling that you have for the people in your life and for yourself. In order to
feel a deeper connection with someone you have to show love and affection
towards that person. Love is shown as a constant virtue in people’s lives.
Love is a virtue because it allows you to have deep
feelings about people and your surroundings. If everyone showed more love and
affection towards life itself, then I believe that the world would exist to be
a happier place. People always describe/ talk about how the one thing they want
in life is to be loved or find true love. They say this because its something
in life that brings joy and a sense of peace to themselves. To know that they
are worth something to someone else and that there are people who love and care
for them in this world of “hate”. Love brings positive emotions to people and
if people acquired the act to love more then things in the world might not be
so hated. I can easily argue how piety and courage are things that people
should acquire but if people didn’t show love then how else would things come
to be? You need to show affection towards things that you like or you wouldn’t
be able to prove the idea that you care about what it is that you are doing. Keeping
good relationships with people would only be good with this virtue because they
need to know that you deeply care. I
truly believe that an act of caring more from within is something that people
need in this world. I’m not stating that
people don’t show love or don’t have it but giving more and being compassionate
would be a great thing to have.
1. All acts of showing affection are virtuous
2. All acts of love are showing affection
3. Therefore, all acts of love are virtuous
Honestly I think this virtue is the best of them all. It almost blankets all the others. You need love to have passion, dedication, confidence, forgiveness, acceptance, etc. Also the part where you say "love brings positive emotions..." I think is so true. The world would be a better place if everyone had love. Loveee the post. (:

Emma,
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw that someone had posted "love" as a virtue, I was skeptical. After all, does love really benefit society as a whole, or is it just the primal yearning for a mate or life companion? However, after reading your arguments I have been convinced otherwise. You thoughtfully pointed out that the feeling of love in one person is the root cause of many selfless acts which benefit the community.
