I have too many answers for those. So I won't bother you with my long-winded and contradictory explanations.

A few people are getting really worried about S. I've told him that I want to talk to him. About how he's been acting lately.

...Do you think it's a good idea?

....Who is getting really worried?

I honestly don't think it's a good idea...

Z, Alert, and myself, at the very least. I've sure that there are more of us who are concerned.

Maybe if you were there, he'd be a little more likely to speak up? You two seem to be really close friends.

Temperance: Avoiding alcohol, or drinking in moderation!

Courage: a purple cartoon dog!

Wisdom: teeth!

No, I kid, darling. It is often hard for man to achieve all three at once. We can be courageous, but thoughtless. Wise, but weak. Temperance may be the one thing we can all gain without too much counter-action. Master temperance and you will learn wisdom, and when you learn wisdom, you will learn courage. When you learn all these, you can stand up for what's right with a clear mind and sound answer.

It's what we should all learn...

These three are what the ancient Greeks believed to be the characteristics of a Just person...

One who is a personification of Justice.

Yes! Y-you could ask a hundred people and still not get the same two answers. If you wanted a specifci--, um, a spes--... a certain kind of answer, you'd have to use different wording, right?

I wanted to hear your answer to the question, R :)

There is no right or wrong answer. I'm just curious.

Temperance is moderation or self-control of your actions.

Courage is the strength and bravery you have inside of you in order to fight your own battles.

Wisdom to me comes from many people because there can be wisdom in the elderly, however, on the other side of the spectrum, there's wisdom coming from little children.

Would you then say there are different types of wisdom? And if so, what types?

Reply

a_lert November 28 2007, 20:20:21 UTC
Yes, there are different types of wisdom. There can be mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, philosophical, metaphysical, wisdom from your elders as well as different types of wisdom.

However, how you want to look at the word wisdom yourself is dependent on you.

As people pursuing to become this personification of Justice, "L", and wisdom being an important factor to achieve this status, which type of wisdom do you think would help us the most in our ventures to become the successor?
