I'm always trying to find out new things about myself, because the most dangerous assumption is the one that we don't know we are making, and it may take us a long time to figure it out.  For one of my courses I'm discussing the nature of virtue, and realizing that I don't really believe in the concept as a valid tool for public dealing.  I believe "do unto others" but that is not a virtuous act, that is a selfish one.  When does virtue transcend selfishness and become something praise worthy?  Only when we forget that we are being selfish.  Not stop, forget. 

Or do I judge too harshly on the nature of human conscious beings?  Cats tend towards a way, so do dogs, same with horses and lizards, do humans have a natural aim?
