Actually, I think I'm going to be honest and tell you how this trip started.
I was sitting in a train, tripping on a combination of LSA, weed, kanna, kratom, a rose petal and a good amount of salvia. On my way to a lecture about philosophical anthropology, I wrote the entire diabolical scheme down...
Virtues
It is time to restore them.
Virtues are that which brings men to glory, fame and wealth,
if that is what the virtuous one
desires.
Do not make the mistake
of assuming virtues are absolute.
They are only absolute in the sense that they represent a higher Truth, or Good, or God, if you will.
But to the common
creature, these virtues may
well seem strange or
even immoral. The virtuous
one shouldn't fret if his
assumed virtues aren't
commonly accepted, it is a
great tool to determine
who is chaff and who isn't.
You can only truly follow
virtues if they are an
honest reflection of your being.
If you made it this far
and still understand what
I'm talking about, have a
virtue.
If a man's conviction in
his virtues is firm, it is
an easy task to lead a
virtuous life.
O men of virtue, I salute
you, but don't forget the
game we're playing, and
don't forget the gift you're
giving, to the hapless and
unwilling masses...
Excercise care when assigning
virtues, for you are manipulating
the very fabric of social
reality. When you have
selected your virtues, and
held them up to the light
long enough for them to
glow on their own,
it's time to turn on,
tune in,
drop out?
You'll find you'll see virtue
in all those you choose worthy.
Which means you should choose
wisely...
