When the church (following Plato) spoke of the Seven Virtues, it wasn't really talking about living by a set of rules. The Greek root word for 'virtue' has to do not with obedience, but excellence, being as good as one can be. Nowadays, there are bookshelves and even whole stores dedicated to personal and corporate excellence. Christian believers have good cause to celebrate this turn of events, because they've been working on excellence for thousands of years. It is in fact near the core of the Christian way of living in a society. It is a way to love our neighbor. The first four of these virtues are 'secular' or public, that is, you don't have to believe in Christ to do them and do them well. Prudence means not traipsing off after the latest fad nor getting lost in the feelings of the moment, but instead being consistently thoughtful and making measured responses. Fortitude is about the kind of courage that sees the task through till it is done, or which boldly weathers the storm. Temperance is about doing all things in moderation, instead of binging, splurging, and pigging out. Justice has to do with being fair and equitable, and creating situations which can benefit all rather than only one or a few. It means we are to be fair in our own doings, and also (as far as we are able) to see to it that our society, laws, economy, media and culture are also geared for all and not the few
