Are the lessons from the past enough to keep us from another colossal fall? Virtue over vice... how do we the people reclaim it?

I write about using kindness to make a difference for self and others. I'd love to hear your thoughts about how to elevate kindness to the status of 'virtue' and how that could be perceived as more powerful and beneficial to the self than 'vice'. Surely there is a way to reverse the trend.

Very well written. I thought the format was a good choice and the words flowed effortlessly.

Would also love to learn how Cato suggests bringing virtue and honor to individual’s lives. Are there practices or heuristics he suggests for men to use, in a grassroots movement? What were his calls to action?

Perhaps the greatest concern is that these concepts are no longer part of the public education system. The very foundations of this great nation are hidden from at least one generation, and concerningly, perhaps two. Can we, as a nation, survive this loss?
