We become just by performing just action, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The bulk of life on Earth lives in a peaceful place where the temperature is stable. There's hunting going on, but it's very civilized, like a slow ballet.
Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Action, so to speak, is the genius of nature.
As a species, we tend to be doers, forever shaping and reshaping the world to better suit our purposes.
The measures and acts which show us violently disposed towards the outer world can never stay without a violent reaction on ourselves.
For the source of any characteristic so widespread and uniform as this adaptation to environment we must go back to the very beginning of the human race.
Nature is based on harmony. So it says if we want to survive and become more like nature, then we actually have to understand that it's cooperation versus competition.
You can't just let nature run wild.
Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring.
Let us love temperately, things violent last not.
