which virtue do you want to imbibe in yourself and why
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Imbibe is a funny word. It usually relates to drink and if you don’t make it too obvious what kind of drink, people are likely to assume it is alcohol. Yet the word imbibe is often used by many in the context of virtues. We might say that we are drinking in the scenery when we see the beauty of Nature. It is almost as if we need to practice ‘drinking’ in virtue as opposed to vice as we go about the busi-ness of our day. Why? If we were alert we would consider a vice to be a poison to our mind.
There are many virtues for example, love, kindness, compassion and acceptance being a few of the most important. (I will include a list at the bottom for your reference.) Virtues bring joy and happiness and make us feel elated as opposed to the vices like anger, greed, ego, which very often in the moment can give us the illusory feeling of empowerment. But just like when we imbibe alcohol we will see our blood sugar levels spike, and then they can very quickly fall. This instant high, and not far behind low, can make us feel depressed and resentful. In essence it is fair to say that virtues will bring us joy in our lives and vices will bring us sorrow.
