Wikipedia talk:The supreme, inviolate, pure virtue of humans

We're here

Our existence is not under our control, hence not a virtue. That is, if you don't accept global suicide as an option. Generally speaking, humans are not virtuous. No religion I know of considers us virtuous as a whole. Looking at the historical record is enough to make a grown man cry. Among the more well known schools of thought, even humanism, the one most optimistic about humans, considers only our intrinsic worth and dignity, not virtue. The only thing even coming close to a virtue of mankind is its potential, but that is just that, a potential. Regards, Paradoctor (talk) 08:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
